Jerry,

You are correct, no horn on the pistol grip. I've been trying to find some info about this model myself. I see alot about the Diamond grade but hardly anything about this model. Am I correct in thinking the "1210" translates to Dec 1910 manufacture date? Anyone wanna give an educated guess on the value?

Jerry, the forend tip appears to be a replacement, perhaps some type of wood? Of course, it would have been horn originally. The lower grades typically did not have the rounded horn cap on the grip.

WDE,

The 1210 could be a date but it would be somewhat unusual in that mandatory dating didn't get into common use until about mid 1920s. I have had a couple German guns which post dated this one that still didn't have a date stamp. I would think this gun came in the 1892 -1911 proof laws period. After 1911 Nitro proofs became more common than just black powder proofs. Your gun has no nitro proof marks that I can see from the photos. They would typically show on the side of the barrel and on the frame.

Joe,

Did the lower grades not use the fore end escutchons or was that a variable.

The forend inlay is something that you or a future owner will have to address. It should be ebony. You might give us more information about your Daly like barrel length, stock length, whether it is for sale, etc.

Jerry, I have always related the cross pin you are referring to as part of an ejector. They do not have it if extractor.

I have a German gun proof dated for 1907 & another 1913. Both also carry Nitro proof correct for their dates. The 1907 gun is a hammerless drilling (maker unmarked) in 16/16/8x58 Sauer & the 1913 one is a Miller & Val Greiss hammer drilling in 16/16/9.3x72R. The hammerless one is unshootable with major flaws, not the least of which is a burst shot bbl on one side & a bulge in the cone area on the other. The rifle would I think be shootable.
Both of these guns also have the number beneath the date showing what number of gun to go through proof it was. As I recall this started anew monthly.
Although not mandatory at the time that 1210 could very well be a proof date.

The barrels measure 28" and the gun weighs 6lb 7oz which seems to be lighter than most I've seen on the net. I'm a little confused over the fore end, do you think the wood tip was added or should there be an ebony piece that fits over this wood tip? I'll take some better pics tonight and measure the LOP.

As far as whether I am looking to sell the gun, I'm really not sure, I bought it on a whim and planned to hunt it, but have read that I can't shoot modern loads in this gun and that is disappointing to me. However if it's only worth $600-$800 then I will keep it and if nothing else just hang it over my fireplace.

Thanks so much for the input.... the info is much appreciated.
