Yeah, 58mm is quite close to the 56mm/2.2" that was touted in adverts. Does it have a menacing muzzle?
With the source load that Schoverling, Daly & Gales could kraal, Lindner & his 3-4 apprentices were quite overloaded & outside their abilities. So Lindner outsourced and was pretty much a last stroke guy and applied his Quality Control Seal of Approval, which was somewhat typical in a Cottage Industry. Such an Industry, where one would have to herd cats on larger contracts like the Military is what drove the Military to establish arsenals in Berlin & Erfurt instead of dealing with hundreds of Cottage Industry Gunsmiths. Also, local gunsmiths really didn't want to acknowledge anything about Lindner and disparagingly referred to Lindner as a >>Rucksack Büchsenmacher<<, being envious of his money making venture w/ S,D&G. It has been stated that a lot of Lindner's heavy lifting was done @ Schilling & Triebel and this may be so. But it seems that rather Sauer could be a more practical source of the heavy lifting along with Triebel components. Lindner was ferry guns & parts in his rucksack from sourcing point to sourcing point.
