I have a Lindner Daly Diamond Feather Weight in 12 gauge. With steel barrels.

Compared to Ken and others here I don't know much about the Lindner Dalys, except I know I really like them.



I am glad to be here.

I've recorded a couple made long after SD&G advertised them in their catalog.



Ken--It was marked "featherweight". 26" barrels. I know it was under 6 pounds, but I'd have to dig through my records to see just how far under. I seem to recall around 5 3/4. Lightest 12ga sxs I've ever owned, except a 2" French 12.

Hi Chukarman:

Your gun is my dream come true! Congrats upon having great taste.

I would like to know how much money does it take to produce a gun like yours. I am not getting personal, but would like to place a price on how much good work costs. Many people are ignorant of the cost of building a beautiful gun. I have done it in the past and have an idea of what it costs. Top notch work is not inexpensive! If I appear too bold, kindly send me a PN or ignore my post.

All of the best,

Franchi

How can I post pics and if not I can e-mail the person who can post. It's a early Daly with some engraving on it.

Regards, Pat

I'd gladly receive them but I'm still hitched to photobucket. I guess it would be a good opportunity to switch image hosting horses.

Cheers,

Franchi -- Then you know that good work is not cheap or fast.

The men who did the restoration did first class work. Pete Mazur did the gunsmithing (cleaning, polishing internals and re-joining) and metal finishing. Sam Welch filled a couple of pits and re-cut the engraving (per original), Steve Heilmann provided the Turkish blank, and my old friend Gary Goudy made the stock. I am thrilled with the result. I would guess it would cost north of $10K today. Well worth it, I think.

PS: I discussed this gun with Ken Georgi and I think we agreed it was either a grade 165 or 185. I forget which. When Gary Goudy (who sees a LOT of best guns) was working on it, he called me to remark on the very high quality of the gun - the fit and interior finish is really remarkable. With 28" barrels and 2-3/4" chambers it is a terrific dove gun.

Here are a few photos of my 1912 Daly 16ga Model 275 Featherweight. It has 28" barrels and weighs 5# 7oz. It has a straight stock with nicely figured wood.










I also own this other 1912 Daly Model 185 16ga that has a serial number serial number three before the above gun. 28" barrels weighing 5# 12oz. It is my every day bird shooter.

With a fine gun on his arm, a man becomes a sporting gentleman, both on the field and off.

Dukxdog, any chance of seeing your proof marks and serial number ? Some parts look like a later gun.
