Ah, I now see the name V. Chr. Schilling atop the pattern welded tubes. I would say this isn't an inland offering or a gun for the German speaking market, but it does wear sling swivels. But I am convinced it came over in a Daly badged box.....
Or it very well could have been in the lot when right after the 1891 McKinley Tariff, when Lindner as a 1st Klass passenger boarded a watercraft to the New World. Onboard with his lot of New Guns, he coordinated a shooting competition and then declared his holdings as used under the U.S. of A. import laws. Then all the guns were taken to S,D&G's shop, cleaned, refurbed a bit & sold >>As New<<..... Easily could have been the case....
I have seen the log books I believe & will see if I can find the date.
