A hammer scattergun wearing #15810 made it to my door yesterday. It has "Charles Daly Fine Damascus Barrels" on the top rib. No Daly on the locks or anywhere else. 71cm tubes with initials "SA" near the forend hanger and an interesting brace of Sauer-esk Ss along with the early Imperial Eagle found on early Sauers. As it has been said there doesn't appear to be a limit to the number of variations of the Daly peddled guns. I haven't weighed it yet but it seems to be pretty heavy so I fancy a round with it Friday when duck season opens. I engaged it with some Boat-tail Grackles this a.m.
Also interesting is a plug where there appears to have been a swivel just forward of the oval. But I don't see any sign of one being removed from the tubeset so I wonder if there was another set of tubes.
Kind Regards,
