I slip up too Canvasback :-).
The model sequence you describe, 225-275-325-375-500 (regent diamond) is correct, but only for a portion of the Prussian Daly production timeline. That is why the "when" it was produced is so important when figuring out the model
For example, when SD&G introduced the the diamond quality nomenclature, there were only two diamond quality guns available, one hammerless and one hammer gun model. The hammerless model was the model 200. As the diamond quality line-up expanded and morphed over the years, some models came and went, or just became an option on the same model. For example, the only difference between the diamond quality model 255 and other diamond quality model was the choice between damascus and fluid steel barrels.
To be honest, it is really quite confusing without a cheat sheet. The reference I use is series of tables I made up years ago based on a collection of approximately 15 period SD&G catalogs. The Daly Almanac has a version of that table for reference.
Clear as mud, right?
