Charles Daly

Charles Daly started in 1865 when Charles Daly and August Schoverling founded Schoverling & Daly as a sporting goods business. By 1875, they rebranded under the Charles Daly name and built a reputation for sourcing top-quality firearms from manufacturers worldwide—initially from Prussia, then later from Heym and Sauer (Germany), J&W Tolley (England), Neumann (Belgium), Lefever (New York), Beretta, Miroku (Japan), and Garbi (Spain).

When Charles Daly died in 1899, his son Charles Howard Daly continued the business until 1919. Henry Modell then purchased the partnership, and through various owners over the decades, Charles Daly remained a marquee name in firearms distribution and sales.
