I still have the first shotgun I purchased 40 years ago at age 16. It's a Daly Empire Grade 20 gauge, made by Beretta. The box has followed me around for years, and recently I found the paperwork including the original sales receipt ($149.95 in September of 1970). I would have been destined for a pump-gun except one of my lawn jobs was with a retired gunsmith... "Hank" H.A. Smith convinced me to go the double route and figured the Daly was a bargin. I'm glad I listened!
