I do not mean to hijack your thread, but I have a hammer gun marked R F Schaefer,with R F Schaefer Boston on the rib. It has some design details similar to the Schmidt, Jakob, Thomas Golcher, and the Daly guns sourced from Germany by Lindner. This gun has a pinned forend, so maybe that means made prior to the Deeley and Edge forend design or the Anson for that matter. I don't know who R F Schaefer may have been , or if he, as I suspect, was related to the other Schaefers.
