Axel Pantermühl gives that August Schüler and Daly were in bed together post WWI due to some correspondence between Fredrik W. Hollender of New York in May, 1935. The gist of the info was that Schüler's most capable machine shop did the heavy lifting for H.A. Lindner's machined actions and components and that August Schüler, with Richard Schüler @ the helm, filled Daly's orders post WWI. A Robert Fahner who was well connected in New York, joined August Schüler in 1928. Shortly after this, August Schüler commenced with some frank conversations about Daly actually being able to pay their bills?????
A few quotes about Charles Daly Post WWI:
>>Schoverling, Daly and Gales changed ownership several times throughout the years. Eventually, the company's primary asset was the Charles Daly trademark. In 1919 Henry Modell bought the company and controlled it for several years. In the 1920's, he sold out to the Walzer family, owners of Sloan's Sporting Goods of Ridgefield, Connecticut. The Walzer's established a branch of Sloan's in New York known as Charles Daly & Company. Sloan's imported quality shotguns from many companies, including Italian gun makers Beretta and Vincenzo Bernardelli, Miroku of Japan and Garbi of Spain.<<
https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/charles-daly-over-100-years-of-importing-firearms/>>Davega Sporting Goods purchased Schoverling, Daly & Gales in November of 1926 and it appears that Knickerbocker, Schoverling, Daly & Gales hit the rocks by 1928 and sunk never to rise again.
I don't have all the S,D&G catalogues but it appears that from 1918 onward that Charles Daly guns or "Daly Guns" don't appear in the adverts. So give an explanation that H.A. Lindner had closed his shop but it may be that the trademark Charles Daly & Schoverling, Daly and Gales were divorced at this time and it may have been Sloan's Sporting Goods had purchased the trademark name but Charles Daly, inc and the Daly trademark don't seem to surface till 1927. Others speculate that Sloan's Sporting Goods acquired the name from Davega Sporting Goods but it appears to be earlier. <<
https://doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=376141&page=18>>All right I have realized the sourced of the 1919 Henry Modell acquisition of S,D&H info and it was the NRA. Mr. Wes Fink of Daytona, Florida had given me the reference at one time but I can't seem to find it. I have performed somewhat of an extensive search and I just don't think that to be the case. Now around this time Henry Modell as a director on the board for the Smaller Businesses of New York, or something like that, & they dolled out cash and it may have been here that some cash was injected into the stumbling S,D&G. But until Theodore W. Stake is out of the picture, along with his sidekick Charles Howard Daly, I don't see it happening. Anyone know of the NRA reference and their source?<<
>>Just in searching and not having the catalgoues in hand, I haven't seen Charles Daly guns in the 1918, 1921 or 1923 but the name reappears in the 1926 and subsequent Knickerbocker, Schoverling, Daly & Gales of 1927. Many times the Charles Daly name is associated with the SBT Sextuple offerings. Also there appears to be a gun catagloue and a gun parts catalogue but in each year it could have been one or the other. Thanks for any effort.<<
>>No, I think it is as I have surmised that the tradename Charles Daly & the company Schoverling, Daly & Gales split, and they may have split in the 1916-1919 period. But odd that Charles Daly SBT appear in the 1926 version just before Davega acquires S,D&G in November 1926 I think.<<
