OWD,
A few more pieces of information from period SD&G catalogs that might be useful:
1895 - Damascus barrels only
1899 - Damascus and steel barrels offered
1902 - Damascus and steel barrels offered
1903 - Damascus and steel barrels offered
1906 - Steel barrels only
The highest numbered damascus Lindner Daly I have recorded is #1109 which is circa 1901. (Note this serial number is from the later HAL over crossed pistol serial number range, not the earlier crown over crossed pistols range).
I wish I could provided more defnitive catalog information but there are significant gaps in the catalog information I have been able to collect over the years.
Regards,
Ken
