Older Charles Daly o/u shotguns were mfg. by Miroku in Japan until the mid-70's, when Miroku began mfg. the Citori for Browning. These Charles Daly shotguns are one of the best bargains out there in a quality used o/u shotgun. They can be found for $500 to $700 for a good used 12 ga. with asking prices for higher grade guns in near new condition approaching $1,000. The later ones of Italian mfg. are more expensive, but are also solid guns. As for the Turkish Dalys, I have no experience with them.
