OK, the calculus is a little fuzzy, it's based on the the last guns of the first sequence being produced circa 1889, (#3950) and extrapolating back using a 18 gun per mo. production estimate. So, in this case it's around 5 1/2 years, or circa 1883 for the gun's manufacture. Give or take a little, depending on if the first series numbers went into 1890.
We may be somewhat off, or merely missing enough data, but if you figure that the first series numbers correspond with the A&D patent protection period of 14 years, then estimated production numbers jump up slightly to approx 23 guns per mo.
A full set of pics would be a nice addition to the recent/current Lindner Daly thread.
If anyone has different info, please feel free to post it.
Regards
Ken

A.B. more than likely points to August Blatt of Albrechts and I believe those initials are seen on several of Josef Jakob's offerings. JW is Julius W, Wolf, etc. Frank Kuhn either sourced from Josef Jakob or he was of the many, many retailers sourcing from the very large umbrella of Schoverling, Daly & Gales. http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbt...true#Post235112Cheers, Raimey rse

Production could have easily varied from year to year & modell to modell so if there were lower rung offerings, production could been higher while the A&D Body Action may have taken more time to roll out. Hammerguns may have languished a bit longer at the A&D Body Action era interface & could have on the shelves @ Lindner or Kuhn for a time.
All we need is Daly's ledger & it is lying around somewhere.
Cheers,
Raimey

Daryl, I have a 4 gauge Francis Kuhn breech loader hammer gun IN VERY VERY GOOD CONDITION Kuhn guns are very rare Any chance it has any Lindner marks on it? Or, possibly a five digit Scott type serial number? Regards Ken
I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

Can't quite recall who I composed being some compilation of data but: "A.B Daly Lindner (Crown) circa 1885 - 1890 2706, 3551, 3665(August Blatt of Albrechts is a strong candidate along with Alex. Barthelmes of Zella-Mehlis, who was probably a decendent of Leopold Barthelmes(ss), a master gunmaker of Zella in the mid 1800s. Emil Barthelmes founded a gunmaking business in Zella in 1854.)" So 2726 can be added to the list. http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbt...true#Post150581Cheers, Raimey rse
