Thanks Daryl. A brief wikipedia search turned up this interesting paragraph: "Charles Daly was born in New York City on October 12, 1839. In the late nineteenth century, around 1875, in New York, Charles Daly and August Shoverling began a business importing firearms into the United States, primarily from the city of Suhl in what was then Prussia. Manufacturers for Daly at that time included Heym, Shiller, H. A. Lindner, Sauer, J&W Tolley of England, Newman (of Belgium) and Lefever Arms."

I had no idea that Lefever made guns for Mr. Daly, but I can see the connection/influence.
