Raimey, I think it probable you are right. Even before Gales, in 1877 we see ads for Shoverling and Daly guns, with suggestions that customers send for a Daly Gun Catalog from W.R. Schaefer 61 Elm St, Boston, E. P. Taylor, 72 E. Madison St., Philadelphia, and T. L. Golcher, Phila. Of the above, I have seen Lindner/Daly type guns marketed with all of the names, except Taylor. I would expect there is a Taylor marked gun out there, too. Close relationships, for sure.
