Any one know what the three stamps on the barrels next to the ser.# stand for? There is also the same stamp on the lower rib in the same area. Looks like an " h " ??

Can you snap an image thru a glass? Typically the mark on the lower rib is a lowercase Gothic/script g. The other marks may be Cavemen. I'm not sure that Wildmann/Hercules needed a staff and most images show a staff of sorts that has one end larger than the other & it is contoured like a club. Folklore has it Hercules killed a viper in the cradle, worked over a wild boar or 2 and may have slain some of his enemies with that jawbone of a jackass like Samson. I don't think he preferred a staff.
I'm curious if some have considered the U xxx an Untersuchungsstempel or inspection type number.
On the Sauer, I guess the principle of Ockham's Razor might be best and it is what it is upon face value.
Kind Regards,

Ockhams's Razor, long time since I have heard that! I will try and get some better pics. Mean time I will go get a trappist beer!
Best,

Well, it does not match any known Daly! It has more features and engraving than a model 40. It has more features and engraving than a model 14.The barrels have the inlaid Sauer medal and a different pattern on the rib. The finishes are near 100%, it does not appear to have been fired. I finally measured the chambers and they are
2 1/2 inch. Ser # says probably 1903 manufacture.
A very interesting Charles Daly! Thanks to all who are sending me data!
Best
Craig

Received my copy of Jim Cates book on Sauer & Sohns, excellent work, and very good reference! Highly recommended!
