Charles Daly Superior II 12ga

[snead888]

I found a Charles Daly Superior II U/O made in Dayton, Ohio, today for $450. It has a bit of rust and aging on the receiver but nothing too bad. Easy enough to clean up. It's a fixed barrel with the top barrel is a Cylinder and the bottom if a Full choke. I googled this gun and it seems to be a good deal, but I was wondering if this was a good deal or a mt least a reasonable price.
It's a beautiful gun and I would love to own it, but as long as it's the right price.

Charles Daly was an importer (now defunct), none of their guns were made in Ohio. The Superior II should be an Italian made gun, and decent quality. The chokes should be marked like a Beretta, with * being full, ** improved modified, ***modified, and ****improved cylinder. The top barrel will have the tighter choke. I would probably take a chance on it if the lock up is tight, and the chokes/barrel length are what you want. Keep in mind that parts availability might be a problem, especially a few years down the road.
