Me thinks it has a hidden rectangular 3rd fastner and is a very rare sporting weapon including bore size. If I'm not mistaken Joseph Jakob turned out a few 10 bores. And also that as I mentioned earlier that Daly, either thru Böker or Schoverling's contacts, was the key for sourcing. It's a pretty easy fall back position & I'd hazard a guess that the bulk of the Suhl-esk sporting weapons, not including some Belgian outliers or that Francotte was the source for the APUN stamp, were made on the backs of the most talented pool of Suhl, and possibly Z-M, mechanics. Seeing that Schmidt worked @ Schaefer, I see no reason he would change the modus operandi. Daly's outlets are going to continue to capitalize on the value of the expertise of the Suhl talent pool & then add some intrinsic features like choke, shooting performace, maybe weight reduction, etc. that they deem essential. Now Lindner was either most capable or he could recognize quality from being around other mechanics who could turn out examples that oozed of quality. His touchmark of either Crown over crossed sidearms or HAL over crossed sidearms is a quality control stamp. It just isn't possible that he could have attributed significant effort to every piece that wears his mark. So he too had a most talented merry band of mechanics.
