charles daly
 

I got out my grandfathers Charles daly last night and tried to find out more about it. the first thing I noticed was the lack of a ser# there is a 5 and 3 stamped in the receiver plate. also the initials A.B. on the underneath side of the right barrel .The AB could be explained that was his initials.why no ser # ?? this is an old hammer gun. any ideas. Andrew

pictures please, showing all the markings


Box or Side lock? Prussia or Germany?

I will try and get some pics . it doesn't say where it was made there are no other markings only Charles Daly Damascus Barrels

You have to be able to read the proof marks to figure out what you have. I beleave if it is a linder you will find two crossed pistoles under a crowm inside a small shield.
