Raimey,
In regard to the first Daly you provided a link to above - i.e., the "sideplated Daly Regent" - I have never seen a Daly of this type ever offered or advertised.
To my knowledge SD&G never marked their regent diamond quality guns in this manner and the level of embelishment of this gun is totally inconsistent with any regent diamond quality Daly gun I have ever seen.
It is a nice gun, but not at the standard or style of Daly regent diamond quality gun. To be honest, my first reaction was that the "Regent Daly" marking on the rib was spurious and intended to dupe the uninformed. While the final, post-SD&G production of "Prussian Dalys" did expand to include several manufactures, I would be totally shocked to find out that this gun was really a Daly. Seems kind of odd that the only Daly marking on the gun is some crude scratching on the rib.
Best reagrds,
Ken
