What is the Value of Charles Daly shotgun?

To answer the question, need more info. Proof marks. Dimensions etc Answer Some years ago I bought a Charles Daly shotgun.In as found condition,it is a fairly old gun-Damascus bbls, twin hammers, very nice wood, some engraving, some rust but relatively clean bores.

It has a "button" that stands up to the rear of the breech that you press to open the breech. 12Ga. ,it appears to be a gun that cost the original buyer some pretty good money.

Much less well finished shotguns were likely available at the time to less particular buyers. I don't have the gun here at the present time so I can't give dimensions,etc.In having bought numerous objects that day, I didn't have to pay a great deal for this gun, which was a part of what I bought. The stock had been fractured years ealier and repaired with no losses.

Guessing, this gun refurbished might have a value of $500-$750 Daly guns our of many makers and alot of difference in value. A Daly gun made by the great Lindner in a top grade can bring $25,000 or more but the current Turkey guns may only bring a couple of hundred. The ole Daly guns were mostly made in Germany and these are the guns that bring real money.

The Daly name was sold and in the sixties Daly guns were imported from Japan and some from Italy. The Japan guns were made by Miroku the same company that make the Browning Citori and the older BSS. Its these Daly's that are undervalued and sell in the $500.

To $1,000. Dollor range. The Daly name then went to some Spanish makers and now Turkey with these last two makers taking big - hits on resale.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
