Thanks for the clarification. I was reading late last night from this resource...
http://www.germanhuntingguns.com/archives/archive-charles-daly/ and there was info in it related to what you are saying about quality vs grade. It does get confusing quickly and as I understand it, there are no surviving Daly records from the Prussian period.
Ken, is the Daly Almanac the link I referenced above or is it something different? I've been on the German Hunting Guns website trying to figure that out without knowing for sure. The only Daly resources I saw on their online store were later data, not Prussian.
Also, thanks for the pricing info. I've been trying to research what the auction houses sold them for as a guide of sorts. I hope to see some Prussian Daly guns in Vegas.
