Thanks, I'm pretty enamored with it. Yeah, there's only two, 16ga Diamond Qualitys for sale online compared to a handful of 12gas. I would now be interested in a Featherweight 12 though, haha

Steve, I owned the exact duplicate of the gun you are referring to. Incredible in all respects! And the engraving style in those early Dalys was very special. A good friend of mine now owns it, along with a number of other Diamond grades. Quite a sight!

Joe,
I will likely own one some day. They are REALLY nice guns. The thing is, I hardly look at shotguns since I bought my Holland. I buy and play mostly with old rifles these days. I still love shotguns, I just found "the one" for me. I bet that collection of your friend's is quite a sight to see. Hope you are staying well in these trying times.

Steve, your Holland sounds much like a side lock Sauer I bought a few years ago. Made about 1895 there is something magical about the way it fits me and even with 30 barrels it handles like a wand. Not a fancy gun but pretty and the craftsmanship is absolutely tops, equal to anything Lindner put out, and a whole lot less expensive. not surprised since there seems to be a great likelihood many Lindners were either made or began life in Sauers shop.

Yeah, I list all my shotguns for sale. I like to buy, shoot, and sell. I set the list price where it's at, hoping it won't go quickly.

Backboring such a gun to establish choke would lower its value quite a bit for a serious collector. It ranks right up there with screw in chokes and variable choke devices.
