The integer value for the tubeset length would have been 28". Not sure on the house number, inspection number, etc. S,D&G had a very large presence at the Sportsman Expo held at the Madision Square Garden and I believe it began 1895. At the 3rd annual event in 1897 S,D&G had a display case of 50 upper rung sporting weapons, which when summed was the most expensive display at the event. T.W. Stake was in charge of the display. By the 6th annual event in 1904, George R. Schneider had replaced T.W. Stake and George R. Schneider also represented S,D&G at many sporting events. He may have also competed? Anyway, it is possible that your recently acquired Daly Sauer gun could have been in the display case as some point. Without the S,D&G records it would be tough to prove.
Interesting below in a 1901 Schoverling, Daly & Gales advert that E.K. Tryon, Jr. & Company is an outlet for the Daly 3 Barrel Gun. I would hazard a guess that S,D&G owned some interest.
1901 Charles Daly Gun advert
I have wondered what the date of an advert when S,D&G referred to the Daly Gun as well as a Sauer scattergun?
