I have owned Charles Daly shotguns that were made in Italy and Japan. The nicest looking and the one that fit me best was a trap gun made by Miroku in Japan, which also makes makes the Browning Citoris.
Do you know where your was made? |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Bought "thirty-odd years ago!" when this pic was first posted but now close to fifty years ago! That $250 gun would cost about $1700 in today's dollars. It's fascinating to me that I don't recall it seeming like that expensive a gun back then. Maybe I was just unusually flush at the time? Stu Image below from Stu Wayne - Image Title: Charles Daly Image Info: I bought this Charles Daly 20 gauge skeet gun new for $250 in the early 1970s. Years of skeet and upland hunting have worn the bluing clean off the bottom! Note the level of engraving to be found on an ordinary field-grade gun thirty-odd years ago! |
