Some readers may be aware that the German Gun Collectors Association is 'hosting' a Prussian Daly Society. PDS is a relatively new group, not fully formed, to exchange information on these fine Dalys and to consider joint activities.
GGCA and PDS were present at the Southern Side By Side event at Deep River this April. A show and tell session headed by Ken Georgi and Dietrich Apel was organized there and many attendees brought their Dalys for all to see and to ask Ken questions. This event was reported in the last Bulletin of the GGCA.
A highlight of the event was an award for the Best in Show Prussian Daly won by a Regent Diamond quality O/U 12 Gauge that traveled from Florida and was oogled by all who saw it. The next Journal of the GGCA will include an article by Ken and me describing this Daly.
We will again join with Dietrich Apel and the GGCA at the Vintage Cup in Pintail Point, MD at the end of this month. Dietrich will again provide an award for the best or most unusual Prussian Daly.
Also under consideration is an informal (non-competition) shoot with interested Prussian Daly owners.
A number of Daly fans have indicated interest in PDS activities and they have sent their names, email addresses, etc.
If interested, send a note to dalynuts1@verizon.net indicating if you will attend (and what days) the Vintage Cup. More detais will be forthcoming as plans firm up.

Sounds like a good group and if it takes off Bill will be smiling down on them.

Vincent,
Do you have a day/time for the Prussian Daly shoot at Pintail yet? Did you buy the Regent Diamond I heard you were looking at?
Kindest regards,
Jon

I had a very nice chat with Dietrich Sunday afternoon at the Southern. The guns he displayed were quite impressive. I'm sorry I didn't lend any of mine to the display. They would have been in good company. I'll be looking forward to visiting the Daly display at the Vintagers. Bill Murphy

I assume that Lindner made guns that were not marked or marketed by Schoverling, Daly, and Gales are among the guns that will be studied and displayed by the Prussian Daly Society. I also assume that Daly marked and marketed Prussian Dalys not made by Lindner will also be studied and displayed. Am I correct in these assumptions?

We would like to see the trigger guard scene and serial number of Charlie's gun. It just doesn't get much better than that one. Is it a mini frame gun as it seems to be?

Eightbore,
We welcome both non-Lindner Dalys as well as non-Daly Lindners :-). It should be a good show and tell.
