| I recently purchased a 22 caliber breech load rifle. The markings on it are DAISY. There is also the number 0915 and a couple marks like foundry marks. It has an octagonal barrel checkered grip and a nice trigger guard plate. Would like to know if anyone knows anything about it. Based on what I've seen it looks to be a late 1890's rifle. Can send pictures if you think you might be able to identify. |

| Thanks. Looking at the marks it was made in Belgium. It has the LEG stamp with a crown and the Perron mark. Serial number is actually 9015. |

Not really easy but if a luddite like me can do it....anyone can. You have to have a photobucket account. Put your pics there and then click and drag them here. Good luck. ------------- All I'm for is the liberty of the individual. |

Beautiful gun. Reminds me of a rusty old piece a friend of mine cleaned up and made new furniture for. That is a single shot rimfire .22 from late 19th century as well. Good find and interesting that "It's a Daisy" ------------- All I'm for is the liberty of the individual. |

Totally your call. My friends had no stock and looked like it sat in a barnyard for 75 years when he got it. He cleaned all the rust and built a stock and forearm for it. Now it's a very nice shooter. It does take a bit of work and knowhow though. Here's a pic of it. Real cutie. http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/the-fuse/media/032_zpssdybc9rs.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  ------------- All I'm for is the liberty of the individual. |

| Nice. I've got too many that I do want to shoot now. When I see something I've never seen that just looks cool I have to have it. |

That looks like a flobert gun. they were made in Belgium and there are many different styles. I actually have one myself but styled differently. They had rolling block mechanisms to load the ammo (ammo was 6mm but you can shoot a 22 short out of it) These guns were the first rim fire guns ever made. I shoot CB caps out of mine. Here is a link to one that is similar to yours. http://www.gunlistings.org/ohio-gun-classifieds/athens/all/165119/belgium_flobert_parlor_rifle" rel="nofollow - http://www.gunlistings.org/ohio-gun-classifieds/athens/all/165119/belgium_flobert_parlor_rifle

It's a Stevens Maynard .22 single shot. I envy his ability to take a rusty paper weight and turn it into a pretty little shooter. ------------- All I'm for is the liberty of the individual. |

| I still haven't seen an answer to why it would have "DAISY" forged into the top of the barrel. |
