After a day of looking at this post, with no replies, what panels are you referring to?

![[Linked Image from thumbs2.imgbox.com]](https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/ee/61/ipvQibXC_t.jpeg) I would hazard a guess that it is some mechanism to retain the strikers? Serbus, Raimey rse

Not a filled in area after a conversion from pinfire? I've never seen a pinfire Daly, but I don't get out much.

They could be some sort of a piece to cover the hole for the pinfire, but there would have been no reason to extend them back so far. The pinfire primer charge set right at the breechface. Also, there would have been no reason for a pinfire to have been built with the balls sculpted in that manner around the firing pins. I suspect they cover the firing pin retainers.

JTPLUMB,
My bet is that they are loaded chamber indicators.

Ummmmm, Good bet there Helsley. ![[Linked Image from thumbs2.imgbox.com]](https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/d1/09/C1p9sMmx_t.jpeg) Not exactly sure how they are triggered, if so. Serbus, Raimey rse

For the steel portion, just not much intrinsic value there less some historical but that wood is just Fantastic.

Interesting gun. We can tell more about what it isn't than what it is. It has never been a pinfire, converted. As to loaded indicators, there is no way the part in question touches a cartridge head as the Part mates up with the barrel only. The only thing left is the part is some cover for a firing pin retainer. But, that's lots of work to hide a screw that could have been easily placed within hidden areas of the action.

I have starred @ these tabs for some time & have come to the realization that the original intent may have been to press them out with your thumb?? But over time, of course they became rigid & someone with a crowbar has removed them.

Sad they could have used a wooden dowel to hammer them out with those turned up tabs. What a heathen.

A retainer for the plungers so they can be easily removed for cleaning?

Now I like a good rock throwing contest just like anyone else, but don't throw rocks @ me as I am just the messenger. I have it on good authority that it is a Pinfire conversion???? May have to have this ultra Daly sent to my humble abode????

Since the hammer face and firing pins do not line up with the “slide” in question, it does not look like the center fire hammers relate to the slide. The fences on the gun appear to be originally carved for the center fire system and I see no relationship with any pinfire design. Raimey, buy it.
