The two differences between the one I had and the other 101s I had were that it was not stamped as a Winchester 101 and it had better engraving and wood. It was a Miroku gun, and it was the exact same gun as a 101. It was about the same difference as the superior grade Miroku Dalys and the field grades.
There are quite a few guns in the used market with only the Miroku markings. Many were brought back from Japan by GI's in 60's. However 101's were not built by Miroku, they were built by Olin- Kodensha and imported both as Winchester 101's and various Nikko models.
With respect to Miroku's I have a very early one with the "BC My Luck" marking. Apparently the Japanese though that was some sort of english interpretation of Miroku.
That Charles Daly SXS would be worth a premium in my neck of the woods if it had the 30" barrels as a lot of the Sporting clays SxS shooters like them. The shorter the barrels the lower the price around here.
