The other issue with Dalys, of course, is that Miroku isn't the only company to have made OU's under that name in the last 60 years or so. I can't confirm that any of the post-Miroku Daly OU's used the Venture name for a model, but there are definitely other OU's out there using the same model names as were used when the guns were being made by Miroku. The same is also true of post-WWII Daly sxs. And even while Miroku was making guns under the Charles Daly name, they were not the sole company to do so. Beretta made a Daly Empire model sxs in the late 60's (maybe continuing to the early 70's), at the same time Miroku was also making Charles Daly doubles.
You definitely need a score card to keep track of all the Charles Daly players. When in doubt, proofmarks will often get you to the country of origin, if not to the specific gun company.
