Now that we are the subject of Dalys, I have a Chas. Daly O/U that is Italian but no maker. I believe it was sold in the early 70's. Anyone know who the maker is?  [img:left]  [/img]   Maybe Sabatti??  Italian guns have a date code.  Should be Roman numerals if early 70's.  That system ended with XXX in 1974.  You can count backwards from there if it has a Roman numeral.  Switched to 2 letters in 1975, starting with AA.  But if you can't figure yours out, post the date code and someone will help you.

Gr2 has the round knob; GR3 capped grip like the Empire.
    Thanks for the correction, guys.

There are no ROman Numerals and no AA. However  178 is stamped on the bottom of the barrels, which I presume is the proof date. Thereis an SGF* stamped on the Frame

Italians did not do proof dates that way.  If there are no Roman numerals, then there should be a two letter date code somewhere.  SGF might be a maker's mark.  The standard Italian proofmark is PSF under a star.
