Not far off from the other serialization to some of the others so completed in 1871/1872? I believe I see an 11 bore stamp & possibly some remnants of some British marks.
Kind Regards,

Here are some close-ups:      The Damascus pattern appears to be a 3-iron Crolle type, but it's hard to make out. I'm in the process of refinishing several other barrel sets, so I'll put this set into the queue as well. It'll be Black & White, unless you or someone else can make the case for Brown & White instead. This is getting more interesting... Thanks Ken

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

Ah, it is just the way the fore lug was filed. Any chance of an up-close of the Imperial Eagle?

Also if you pull the locks, post a few images of the lockwork.

Sure, I'll do all of it. Tomorrow I'm going to switch to a camera for the pics rather than my pad, so hopefully I will be able to provide clearer pics. I was editing my previous post when you posted yours, I added that I was going to start refinishing the barrels, Black & White appearing to be the correct choice.
Regards
Ken

Here's a pic of what I think is a Prussian Eagle. To me, it appears that the Eagle's head is turned and pointing to the right, but possibly not, as the Prussian Eagle's head points left. It reminds me of a much later Ulm proofmark, but again the Eagle's head is pointing left on that mark. There's always the possibility that this is just my imagination. I shot it through my shop magnifier, it's still not as distinct as with the naked eye. I'll post pics of the locks as soon as I remove them, I've got to grind a screwdriver first.  Thanks Ken

It's possible. What does that mark represent?
Thanks

There's maybe 2 or 3 possible origins for pre-1893. One being from the Imperial Armouries as it is seen on bolt guns & the other is that early on it is seen on Sauer's wares. So it would be interesting if there is an Imperial Eagle on the flats of a Charles Daly completed with a British parts kit. It may have been some sort of material test at Sauer prior to the 1893 rules.
