Linkert model question

[amca16]

Just noticed this Linkert M Model info posted March 2025 by linkertcarbs.com. The list shows M9 is for the 1935 Indian Pony. It's been awhile since the original post, but I would still like to see the M9 stamp.

I think the Linkert M2 is later 1933/first 1934. The VLs were still using the pot metal Scheblers after the bronze ones in 1930. I would say DLX 80 for later 1930, DLX 85 for 1931, DLX 88 for 1932 and DLX 92 for early 1933. Then the 1934s took the M21.

So Steve!

What's that got to do with a Linkert on a Pony?

(A DLX98 sounds a little familiar, but but I haven't found one logged..)

My guess is that AMCA16's question is whether it was a "Beck" stamping for a replacement, or not, as we know ITW was forensically sorting these things out as best possible.

Just hope AMCA16 doesn't intend to tattoo one! Because then we may never know.
