The weight of the gun is not out of line with other Daly hammerless 10s. I have a two Daly hammmerless 10s, both with 30" tubes. The diamond quality gun is a tank at almost 11 lbs and the other is just a hair over 8 lbs.
JB hits the other items that are of concern like the stock work. As he notes, this is almost assuredly an extractor gun (no "steel eyes" on the forend) rather than an ejector gun.

Bryan, The gun you referenced on Guns International, IMO, has an original butt stock and forend with the exception of the addition of the wood to the comb and the wood extension. The wood in both cases is well matched just old work. When I say the butt stock is original I base that on the checkering pattern along with the shape of the drop points which are very Linder like. The checkering diamonds on Lindner guns is also peculiar in that the diamonds re almost square vs elongated diamond that we see now, there is also a slight curve to the lines instead of straight.

Joe:
I don't know why you gave up custody of that Lindner Daly 16 gauge, but I would have a hard time contemplating that you replaced it with something nicer. It's a stunning gun.

Joe, what possessed you to rid yourself of that gun? I have only sold one Lindner, the Doug Mann restoration.

Thanks for the reply and good info. Lots to learn about these guns.

Wow, that's a beautiful 16 gauge. Every nice example I see just confirms that I would like to have one...just one right?
There seems to be a reluctance to comment on pricing and values of these guns. If that's better done offline, could someone give me some value guidelines through a PM? I think the Artemis gun is priced high. The auction link I cited from 2 years ago was 4k and that looked like a nicer gun than this one. What is the approximate price range of a 10 gauge Prussian Daly diamond gun?

Thanks Canvasback for the photos. That's another nice one. I have yet to see an original diamond grade that I don't like!

Not trying to nitpick, but the term "diamond grade" is not correct. The reason that is important is that various models sold under the "diamond quality" banner differed significantly in price. Canvasback's diamond quality model 275 above, while really gorgeous, would sell (then and today) for less money than a similar condition Daly diamond quality model 375 for example. My point is, all other things being equal, I'd expect the model 375 to sell for 25% - 75% more than the model 375, even though they are both a "diamond quality" guns and marked as such on the ribs.
In terms of what can I expect to pay for a Lindner Prussian Daly diamond quality shotgun, I think your best resource is the result libraries of auction companies like James Julia and Rock Island. The libraries of past auction results are free to browse once you register. Like the rest of the vintage shotgun economic landscape, you'll see that the prices of the Daly guns vary tremendously due to things condition, gauge, dimensions, features, etc.
Due to that variability, it is difficult to put a price on what you can expect to pay. It depends on a lot of variables.
FWIW, I bought a restocked Lindner Daly diamond quality hammerless 10 for $1800 (about 10 years ago) and lost out on another (in much, much nicer condition) that went for over $8000.
