Lindner - Daly Nr. 2851 - 1st series. I'd hazard a guess it would date to the mid to late 1880s. Cheers, Raimey rse

Well, what I think is coupling a Lindner-Daly to a date is tough. I always think the examples are a bit younger than they actually are. But yeah, I'd hazard a guess of the turn of the 20th century into the 1st decade. It is also possible it could have been in the waning years of the 19th century. I'll go back thru the Lindner - Daly Calculus & see what I might derive.
Cheers,

I agree with Canvasback. A 1668 (second series) Lindner Daly would put the gun in the 1909 production range, plus or minus a year.
The first Lindner Dalys with 1912 German proofs show up at approximately the 2000 serial number mark (second series). So with a production of 100-150 guns a year, a 1668 serial number puts you circa-1909.
One follow-up note the "about serial number 2000" marker for post-1912 guns: there wasn't a hard-cutover. What I mean is that I have observed Lindner Dalys with 1912 proof marks with a slightly lower serial number than Daly guns with only the 1892 proofs. The serial number differences weren't large and are likely explained with the variances in production times of different Daly models and quality levels.

Good God! I don't know what I'm doing and Ken agreed with my dating! Maybe all the pouring over the fine print everywhere I can find it is starting to pay off!

Ken, regarding the total numbers for Series I & Series II Lindner - Daly production, do you have those as well as the years that bound them? So, there is a relatively constant benchmark @ the number 2000 for the 1912 Suhl proof rules, although I'm not certain that Daly would have paid for the Nitro proof effort seeing the longarms were destined for the U.S. of A., but do you have a benchmark for the year 1900, or thereabouts?
Cheers,
