The Schaefer & Sohn - Lindner sourced A&D Body Action dates to about 1885. About this time, Schaefer was peddlin' W. Richards platforms in two sizes - >>The Standard<< Model at $185 and >>The Premier<< at $300. So >>Superior Quality<< on Lindner guns may have an origin @ Schaefer??? Lots of moving pieces; i.e..... Herding Cats....

Also, E.C. Schmidt was an apprentice @ Schaefer & Son & Schmidt sort of picked up the pieces when the Schaefer & Son firm faltered.
