I think my ignorance is showing...

This just shows how little I know about other doubles, especially those from Europe.
I guess I'll stick to Parkers, which have always been my focus in American doubles.

A poster has brought up a good point. Lindner Dalys are not found in Europe or brought back by WW2 soldiers. They were bought by affluent American shooters and hunters from the New York store of Shoverling, Daly, and Gales. They are buried in American homes, just like Parkers. My Dalys are as interesting as my Parkers, except that very few of them are provenanced. One exception would be the John Phillip Sousa Daly Single Diamond Grade which is probably the most famous Daly out there. This is the gun that he gave up to shoot the Ithaca Sousa Grade in 1916.
