Raimey, here's a picture of my Daly's lock, #15,251 with the Birmingham proofs. What'cha think about the similarity? And the barrels were finished in a deep brown.





If W.&C. Scott had anything to do with the manufacture of this Daly the serial number, 15,251 fits nicely with the table published by Crawford. He indicates about 1871. The style of your gun and mine certainly seems to be in that period. Adding to that, mine has British proofs and the barrels were finished brown. All parts, including the buttplate, carry the same number and appear to have been struck with the same die stamps.
