I just purchased this Lindner made Charles Daly 275 shotgun so I thought I'd share photos.
28" barrels
5lbs 6oz
circa 1912

How did you get 5 stars? I call b.s. Nice Daly by the way ;-)

Nice gun, you deserve another star
Mike

I'll give him 5 Stars for bagging that outstanding Daly *****

Wow! That's a nice one. I've also got a Diamond 16 but it's quite a bit older than yours. Glad you shared yours.

Would you please post some good close ups of the action?

Wonderful gun.

Man that is sweet !

I have a Prussian Daly 16 but its not that nice.Not,many around in 16 and you found a real sharp one.

Very nice indeed!

275 being 2-3/4"?

Was that the one Chuckarman from over on UJ had for sale?

Beautiful gun, what is the barrel length?
Best,

275 is the grade. 28" barrels according to the description. That is a superb gun. Enjoy in good health.

No matter where you go, there won't be a higher quality or finer or more attractive gun than that one.

Congratulations.

Best,


Mike

Like the other posters, I also have a 16 gauge Lindner, but mine is a hammer gun and has a hole in the barrel. Yours is much nicer. Was the other poster correct in guessing you found it on UJ?

I bought it from a dealer not UJ. I think Partridge Cartridge had that one but I never saw photos. This one is a Model 275 with 2 1/2" chambers. I bought a case of Cheddite papers for my other Daly 16ga previously so I load and roll crimp my own. Thanks for the compliments.

Congrats!!! What a wonderful gun!! I've looked at that one for a long time. Glad someone here got it. I hope you have many long and healthy years shooting her.

Best!

I love shooting paper cartridges as well. Good luck and hope you have many many great years hunting with her. Very beautiful and sleek.

I think 275 is the grade. Number comes from the price at the time the grades got those designations. When I had one several years back, the Lindner Daly experts here told me mine was a 185.

Yes thats the Grade, Ken Georgi is the one to ask thou.
Mine is a 185(I think) 16 also had a SBT that was 185 as well(that was a 12),its not near as nice as the OP's and has less engraving.I showed to John Mann many years ago and thats the grade I think he told me it was.

It is a beautiful gun dukxdog and it looks like the one I came so close to buying from Robin Hollow. If it is, you bought a keeper.

An upcoming move back to SD and a kennel construction bill made me walk, certainly not anything about the gun, which is as good as I have seen.

But if you should ever decide to part company with it, drop me a line.

Clarify what is UJ? Again

UJ = Upland Journal. Another of the bird/dog/gun bulletin boards. www.uplandjournal.com.

A few more photos. I just love this shotgun.

Dukxdog,

Beautiful gun - maybe there should be an article for DGJ written up on it - would love to know some of its history.

Great trigger plate dog. What is the serial number range. I think mine are older. I have guns in low 500s and high 600s.

Beautiful.
I wish I had bought it when it popped up!

BTW: What does the triggerguard look like? Is it long and finished to a point?

I've seen straight-gripped Daly Diamonds with and without long trigger guards.

Thanks,


OWD
