Single brass bead sight on a matte concave solid rib marked "CHARLES DALY FINE DAMASCUS BARRELS". 2 1/2 inch chambers, choked extra full/improved cylinder with ejectors. The water table and barrel flats are marked with various proof marks as well as "PRUSSIA" on each side of the water table.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The barrels retain 70% original brown finish and Damascus pattern. The remaining metal surfaces have a smooth silver gray patina with strong original case colors in the protected areas of the upper tang under the break lever and around the fences. The wood is fine with a minor repaired crack on the forearm, a few scattered minor dings and scratches and crisp checkering. The markings are clear. Mechanically fine. The mutton case is good with a separated strap on the outer pouch, some moderate wear and scuffs and the lid is absent.
