Prussian. Lindner-made Charles Daly Empire Grade Double Barrel, Side by Side, Boxlock ejector, Shotgun
Lindner-made Charles Daly side-by-side shotguns used to be one of the best buys in the vintage double world. That’s why I was excited to see this lightweight 12 gauge come up yesterday at Amoskeag Auctions. It was in great condition and I was hoping to get a deal.
Well, a deal didn’t happen. This Charles Daly hammered down for $4200. Add in the buyer’s premium,and the winner is going to pay at least $4830 for this gun. That’s a lot of money for a plain 12 gauge boxlock – even if it was made by the famous Lindner clan.
Sounds like you were there, any other highlights? They always have some interesting stuff.
I was watching it online. There were a couple guns that interested me, but not too much. This was a decent gun:

Thanks for the comment.
