I saw a gun marked as such in a pawn shop today and it piqued my interest. I thought I would easily be able to look it up when I got home, but all I have found after reviewing pictures and posts were references to the Charles Daly branded guns and a few others names that Lindner manufactured guns were apparently sold under. Furthermore, none were similar to the one I saw.
It also had a Jones underlever and an escutcheon forearm mechanism. The hammers were the very straight upright iteration found on very early hammer guns as opposed to later ones that were curvier (please excuse terminology). Original quality looked very good with excellent wood to metal fit and clean engraving.
Anybody seen anything like that before? Really wishing I had taken a pic, checked the proofs and taken down the serial number down.
It was mechanically rough - the Jones under-lever just flopped open and the extractor piece would not orient properly to close. Still hate to see a gun like that sitting on the shelf collecting dust. Would love to know more about it if anyone has any information. Who knows, I might pick it up as a decorative piece next time I am out that way.
Thanks!
