Hi : I have recently acquired a CHARLES DALY SIDE LOCK DRILLING MADE BY J. P. SAUER AND SON. Cal. 12 x 12 x 30-30. 28" Steel bbls are engraved "J. P. Sauer & Son Suhl" on tops of both bbls. Broad flat matted rib is stamped "Fluid - Steel - Krupp - Essen-" w/ folding rear and longitudinally dovetailed bead front sights. Minimally scroll engraved case hardened action has dual under lugs, Greener cross bolt, bushed shotgun strikers, and pin rifle cocking indicator. Rifle is cocked w/ thumb actuated side lever, along side of trigger guard. Back action locks have some scroll, are engraved "Charles Daly" and have raised rib cocking indicators on tumbler ends. Bottom of rounded action has "D. R. P. no. 78411" engraved on trigger plate. Trigger guard has some scroll and SN on grip. Top tang has "Safe" engraved in front of bifurcated sliding safety button w/ flip-up peep sight at rear.
Any information on this fine old firearm would be greatly appreciated. [img]
