Here is my 325 Diamond Daly rescue. Before and after pics. Lots of sins committed on his gun over the years, fair sleeve job, someone attempted to jewel polish the table and flats, alost losing the Lindner provenance. Gun is #993, so pretty early hammerless. Original straight stock configuration. Though certainly not original, still a stunning example of gunmakers art. Stock extension by Mark Larsen. It is an ejector gun, sends empties10’back! Weighs a bit over 5#’s lindner diamond Forgot to say that it is a 20 bore
I love the look Hobbs, my Vizsla, gives me following my second miss in a row.

The problem with archived threads is that most of the photos are now missing thanks to the pure genius (NOT!) of Photobucket. Their policies have destroyed the value of many forum topics on many forums. I went to all of those links above and read through a few pages but can't follow much of it due to the missing photos that are being referenced.

Re: the Daly offered by Artemis- Among my concerns other than the spliced stock , would be the cyl/cyl ( cut barrels?) chokes ( the description indicates full/full inthe title, but lists open chokes in the bullet points description- which one is correct?) , the 3/4" of cast ( unusual) and a weight of only 7.8 #s? I've never seen a 10 g Prussian Daly that light- perhaps built on a 12g frame? Was there such a thing as a " featherweight " 10 ga ever recorded? Maybe the printed weight is an error. The description indicates ejectors, without photos of the barrel breeches to confirm, I would doubt this 10 g has ejectors as the " eyes" are missing on the forearm. I would want to see the current barrel dimensions at the very least. I have had a few Diamond grade Daly's in my hands and this one seems unusual. If the open chokes are correct, you need a heavy quail gun & and shoot waterfowl close over decoys, this may be the one for you. Best Regards, JBP

Good points JBP. I thought these 30" guns weighed about 8 lbs? I remember that's what Ross Seyfried's example weighed. I wondered about that stock and now I understand what was said earlier about it being "composed". I also wondered about the ejectors.
Ok, so that's maybe not the best example and it seems overpriced. What is the price range for a nice (not mint) Prussian Daly Diamond grade 10 gauge...$4-5k?

For what it's worth, my 12 gauge Lindner Daly has 30" barrels, choked extra full, an uncut stock with an LOP of 14 1/4". It weights in at exactly 7 pounds, 8 ounces. Barrels weigh 3 pounds 10 ounces.
The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia

That's good to know. Thanks. Could I see any photos of your Daly 12 gauge? Was this Diamond grade?

Not only Daly 10 gauges can be in the 7# range. I have a Jeffery hammer gun with the Dougal Lockfast action that weighs under 7.5#.
