I would say my 1st guess on the Daly would be Sauer, but it would possibly have Krupp tubes. For now, in my mind I can't remember who I have associated with Rochlings Spezial Steel except Sempert & Krieghoff(Ludwig) who worked with Thomas Edison. They had intended to sell weapons and electrical "stuff". But in 1904, as per some sources, S.u.K acquired Val. Chris. Schilling. Ludwig Kreighoff expired in 1924 and his son Heinrich Krieghoff returned to take the reins of the company. "S.u.K." & "S & K" were their marks. Purportedly they supplied restocked German service rifles, or components, to August Schuler. Other sources give Albert & Moritz Schilling & Walter Schilling up to 1914 with Ludwig Bornhoft owning the whole lot in 1920. "V.C.S." was Schillings mark. Continuing a long tanget from the subject, does anyone have any info on Blickensdorfer & Schilling(Charles F.) from either St. Louis, Columbus, Ohio or Lancaster Pennsylavania in the 1870s?
True Jacob Mayer was quite the philanthropist and there was some controversy between BV & Krupp(on page 778 of Manchester's book I think I recall correctly) where at the Paris Expo, which was to rival Britian's previous Expo, Krupp took the center piece/ringer and melted it down to prove it was cast or something. I'll have to find the reference
