JRH,
There are an even dozen Daly drillings captured in the Daly/Lindner database. These dozen encompass both hammer and hammerless varieties in mulitple calibers and gauges The lowest serial number recorded thus far is in the 29,000 range, and the highest is just north of 167,000.
I have be honest that I have not done much noodling to determine see how these Sauer-made Dalys match up to the Sauer serial number guide Jeff put together. My first instinct is that the range is far too broad to be purely sequential and there seemed to be some inconsistencies with serial numbers and features noted on the gun that would help date them - i.e, the guns do not appear to be in a simple sequential order. (But hey, these are Dalys - the serial numbering sequence is supposed to be a mess! :-)
I'm on travel and away from my catalogs and other research material, but I'll do some digging and check the Sauer serial number and see if, or what portion, of the Daly drilling serail numbers appear to jive with the Sauer numbers.
Best,
Ken
