You will need to do a detailed inspection. Schoverling & Daly imported shotguns under the Charles Daly name from makers in Prussia (like Schiller and Lindner), Germany (like Heym and Sauer), J&W Tolley of England, Newmann of Belgium, and even LeFever Arms of New York. If you do not know how to disassemble your gun to examine (and reassemble, of course), take it to a reputable gunsmith. The maker's marks and European proofs are there somewhere. The firm of Shoverling and Daly came into being in 1874. I really think that there qouls be few percussion guns sold by Daly. They prided themselves on selling the very best and latest. With this in mind, they were concentrating on breech actioned shotguns. To my knowledge they were buying guns from England and Belgiaum at their beginning. This has to be a pinned gun. Take the forend off and remove the barrels. Look at the proofmarks to see if it be English or Belgian. If German or any of the German States, there will be no proof marks. Same for US production. Hope this is helpful. Best, John
