Here is an English pump that came in the mail today. This is not the Daystate SAM (Semi Automatic) Patriot.
It says Patriot on one side and Daystate on the other so it must have been built by Daystate before they made the Sam Patriot Semi Auto.
Looking at the internals, body style, asa and trigger mount I can now more positively identify the mystery pump in the article below as a Daystate nelson.

Probably a year or so between the production of either of these pumps?
I’ve never seen another one of these Daystate Patriot pumps and the closest I have seen is the mystery pump in that article.
Very happy to add this to the collection (regardless of its horrible shape and big thanks to Mike “Cannon Fodder” on mcb for helping me acquire it. And find a little more information on mcb at:
