Not being "Up" on the Daly Guns, what is that horizontal raised bit of metal on the side of the left fence..just where a crossbolt might go???..is it part of a bolt of some kind?..
Surely this Gun, although with sparse engraving, is worth more than $800 if all is well...it looks rather lovely in a sparse but elegant way...but I really dont know....shit, I'd buy one for that price if I saw`one
cheers

I'll bet a new gun built to the same standard would be several thousand dollars.

I would think it would bring more than $800.00--but like anything, to the right person.

WDE,

You have a Daly model 135. It retailed for $140 when it was produced circa 1900/1901.

As others have mentioned, the gun is missing its forend tip which would be either ebony or horn. The horn tip on the end of the grip is usually only seen on higher grade guns and then only sporadically.

The square crossbolt which extending past the left fence was only used by Lindner for a limited time. Guns withe this variety crossbolt are typically found in the range in the 500 - 1,000 serial number range.

The "steel eyes" Jerry is referring to denotes the presence of ejectors on the gun. As this is an extractor gun, it does not have them. If it did, this would be a model 185, and it would have retailed for $185 when it was produced.

Nice Daly - enjoy!

Ken

RHD45,
Yes, ..how much are new Damascus bbls these days???
I think it would cost so much that no one would buy it smile
It's hard to see the wood,with the angle, but it looks like its rather nice also.
WDE...If the bbls & other major points check out in good order, & your cool with Damascus,& you got it near the price/s mentioned, I think you should be Very Pleased, I would be..
I'm still surprized at the low values mentioned here though

Thanks for the information about the "Steel Eyes" being part of the ejectors. I guess every Daly I have ever handled was an ejector gun. The Diamond Grade I had from this same era did have the ejectors. As for shooting with this gun, it would be little problem to either load low pressure nitro loads or black powder loads suitable - assuming the barrels are checked out first. I shoot a lot of black powder flintlock so using that wouldn't constrain me at all. Just don't use plastic wads and don't reuse the hulls. If this model is as slick inside as the Diamond grades the buttery action will be a total delight.

Looks like a nice Daly. Value depends on barrel wall thickness and choke and bore dimensions, not internet trolls.

I think a lot of you window shoppers are only wishing with the prices mentioned here. Last year at the Tulsa show I sold a Lindner Daly in the same grade and maybe a tiny better condition with 30" barrels and weighing seven and a quarter pounds. Had a stock drop of 3 1/4". The dealer paid me $2,500 and immediately sold it for $3,000. This lightweight gun would easily match or exceed mine if it's on face and the bores are good, etc. As Sergeant Friday used to say, "just the facts, mamn......just the facts".
