Raimey, remember my Daly #15,251 has the serial number stamped on the steel buttplate, and all other parts, including the locks. The only exception is it is hand engraved on the tang of the trigger guard.

Incidentally, since the same serial number is stamped on the flat of the barrels wouldn't that indicate the barrels were stitched together by Scott? If so, Daly must have been really experimenting by having Scott braze the ribs on mine rather than solder them. Do any of the other 15,000 series have brazed ribs?
