Interesting too from the catalogue is that there were Telegraphic Codes to order things. There was a code for the item plus a code for the number of items.

>>This Telegraphic Cipher Code will be found convenient in ordering Guns, Cartridges and other Leading Goods.<<

>>The plan of the Code is simple: A single word is made to take the place of a long description or series of numbers, viz(videlicet).....<<

A bit more than a cursory effort, I only see a few date references to patents, etc. which approach 1881. 3rd Addition so if we assume(assumption is the anthesis of exactude) that the 1st catalogue commenced w/ the additon of Gales(1879), so there was a Premier Edition(1880), 2nd Addition(1882) and 3rd Addition(1883)????


Too, from this S,D&G Wholesale catalogue, 3rd Addition, it appears that the bulk of the Belgian wares(including Imitation Turkish Tubes.....), W. Richards London & Belgium, Gallager, Zulu, , you name it, originated w/ S,D & G. Possibly all of the Belgian wares, less a handful, passed thru the Import Houses of S,D&G.

Any component for any smokepole stuffer, hammergun, Boxlock, to Flobert, to you name it is contained therein.

Um, just a tid-bit of info on production of Daly wares by a Suhl mechanic, purportedly, from the early 1920s. An artikel in >>Guns Magazine<< March 1958 I scanned gives that Heym was turning out Dalys in the early 1920s and purveyor Ray Riling was aiding in peddling Daly's gems? Anyone have a good lead on what Ray Riling was doing the in 1920s? I believe it stated that Ray Riling was actually the Heym Rep in the U.S. of A. then?

But the story mostly focuses on Heym's determination to survive the Russian Occupation, where he & 8 other mechanics were kept in a Cellar of a house in Zella-Mehlis for months. 3 times a week from midnight to 3 am, they would drag Heym in for interrogation and actually beat him with a rubber hose about the head & back. During this time the occupiers were trying to get his factory up & going. So they brought A. Heym out to get the factory going and two weeks later he slipped away to the West. A few other of his mechanics were able to do the same.

Even though this is not for my eyes, is the article regarding Heym referencing the immediate post WWII time frame?

No, it was about the Rich History of Heym up to WWII, then about escaping the East and starting anew in the West and that's where it ended.

>>Too Tough to Die<< was the artikel.

Too Canvas-Back, something for your eyes: can you glance a couple threads down to >>A. Schuler Drilling<< as there is someone in your neck of the woods looking for a value.
