Is it just me, or does this hammergun appear to anyone else to be a conversion from a pinfire mechanism? I remark the thin breech area, as well as the fact that it appears the one hammer that can be viewed does not align at the head with the exterior firing pin. Its hammer-tip also appears to have been broken off, as it is flat and squared, and the shape of this hare-hammer looks very similar to those usually found on a Pape gun.
Also, from the text of the initial post, I have the impression that the subject gun is perhaps somewhere marked "Charles Daly," and at this point it is simply an assumption that the gun must have been made / finished by either Georg or Heinrich Lindner.
It would, of course, be a great find, even in its deplorable condition, if the gun indeed evinces Lindner indicia, and if it is not spurious. But I would tend to doubt that it is a Lindner gun, though it may be marked Charles Daly; one trade name does not necessarily follow the other.
I hope that I am wrong, by the way.
