Many of the early side by side guns (pre-WWII) were made by H.A. Lindner and then J.P. Sauer, both in Germany. My only Daly was a Sauer made 16 gauge SxS dating from 1904 and marked 'Made In Prussia'. Although a lower grade Sauer, it was still very well made. It had 26" barrels (original length) made of Krupp fluid steel, and clean, original bores. Weighed in at 5lbs, 11.7oz and ordered by the original owner in Grand Rapids Mich., almost certainly as a grouse gun.

Always seemed to me to be one of the brands that were marketed to wealthy trap and skeet shooters. I would go into the field with an 870 or a Mossberg 500 or a Sears Roebuck pump shotgun.

I remember being invited to go on a pheasant shoot by my boss. He and one of the engineers had high priced over under guns. I brought one of my shooting buddies and we both had cheap pumps. First we did a 50 rounds each of sporting clays. Me and my friend cleaned their clocks. Then the not so wild pheasants (places there in the field by workers). We worked over a nice little Brittany who was good at her task. My friend and I cleaned their clocks once again.
