Most German mechanics would say that would make you anything to meet your wishes, i.e. the Customer is King, but I would say within reason. Most were reluctant to fill American orders until times were difficult after the 1st Major Disagreement in Europe. Then it was all about Bread money, where previously Suhl makers were envious/jealous of H.A. Lindner & desired to keep Lindner sort of estranged. Daly led the way for the American retailers sourcing Suhl and as his demand outpaced Lindner's most 4 or 5 man apprentice shop, Sauer was called in to fill orders and other Guns houses like V-L&D, etc sourced Sauer. So one sees American type sporting weapons from Sauer. Too, H.A. Lindner's 3 story house w/ the basement & 1st Floor strictly for business and shop, was on Schleusinger Straße and guess just who was 2 houses down?? Rolf Sauer...... But the longer frames do not have roots @ Sauer but @ Lindner.
Also, it may have been that Daly had purchased Scott parts kits and had Gebrüder Abby to assemble them before Abby expired. Don't forget that German Schoverling is in the background pulling strings.....
