I went back to the KTP today and returned the ROTA 10ga Skeet Gun (see other thread).
I had this Daly Hammer 10ga on hold and I looked at it more closely, much to my surprise it is not polished, it is a plated gun (I assume nickel plated). The receiver, trigger guard, steel butt plate and forend pin assembly all plated. So it is possibly all original however the barrels may have been redone???? Chambers are 2 7/8". There were no stampings of HAL or a crown over crossed pistols indicating it was a "Linder" Daly. Serial number is close to 200 and from what little information I can glean from the web this is probably a pre 1880 gun given the forend pin and made by Sauer but I don't know that. The KTP had no way to measure a 10ga bore (grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr) so Scott is going to let me borrow his bore gauge tomorrow and I will return to the KTP and measure it up. I didn't think I would have a hammer gun but it is nice old gun and it is a 10ga
plus I have a large credit that almost covers the asking price burning a hole in my pocket.
PS. While there one of their employees showed me a twist steel single barrel hammer 8 gauge. It had just come in and he bought it. What a beast!
