There are many photos of the Diamond grade and Regent Diamond grade guns. But the only photos of the lower graded guns seem to
be copied from Daly catalogs which are more sketches than real photos. Does anyone have quality photos of the guns identified by Daly
as 100 -185 models?

If I can step out on a limb here, when we refer to Diamond Quality (not grade) and Regent Diamond Quality, those had numerical model numbers assigned to them as well. And, over the course of the Prussian Daly output, you might have only one Diamond quality in the line up or you might have 5 Diamond Quality models. And the numerical designation might have changed over the years for essentially the same basket of options. So in identifying them one really has to take a stab at year of production, then look at a relatively closely aligned catalogue.

The same holds true for the models below Diamond Quality.....ranging from model 118 to 185. One has to look at the assortment of features on the gun, figure out rough date of production, then look at the nearest catalogue.

Canvasback i agree with your post. My purpose is to get some good photos of the guns which aren't the beauty queens. Surely there are some holders of the grades below Diamond grade who could post photos showing the engraving

This is a 10g I have for sale. I think it is an intermediate grade and the pictures show the engraving well. I do not know what grade or year it is but I can provide the serial # if that helps. https://www.doublegunshop.com/forum...Words=charles&Search=true#Post621988

For anyone looking builder's gun, by a flawed and approximate measure to be clear, it seems to be an 1898/1899 era gun.

Does it have a dolls head?

Search Lindner or Prussian Daly on gb and GI and you can see several examples of the lower numbered models. This publication will help you sort them out a bit.

I have that reference and you are right it is a good source - but not really good photos of the less than diamond grades. i am trying to fill that gap a bit. I will look at the gb and gl as you suggest

Does your 10ga have ejectors? do you have photos of proof marks on table and barrel flats?
