This Charles Daly Model 700 was built by B.C. Miroku in Japan around the 1970s, serial S202436. It is a 12 gauge over/under with 28-inch vent rib barrels, 2 3/4-inch chambers and fixed improved cylinder and modified chokes. The blued receiver is engraved, and the gun carries automatic ejectors, a gold-plated selective single trigger and an automatic safety. The high-gloss checkered walnut furniture measures 14.25 inches of pull to a White Line recoil pad.

Condition reads as a gun that was used and cared for: some handling marks on the stock with no cracks, light edge wear around the receiver and trigger guard, very good barrels and excellent bores. In Connecticut it fits the private-land shotgun deer season, November 18 to December 8, and the state land shotgun season on the same dates, where a 12 gauge is a permitted gauge. The improved cylinder and modified pairing is an all-round field setting for a double.
