  Yes, I'm confident that this is a Taliaferro Daisy Duck.

  A model sheet, or directly from a strip. 

  Speaking of re-used panels, I recently saw that Bottaro also used once
again the same Barks drawing in I TL
  375-A (Zio Paperone e la costosa eredità), from the Barks ten-pager in WDC
214 (Paperino floricultore). Maybe
  Marco Barlotti can add this in his list of re-used Bottaro drawings.

  To Archontis and other fans of Italian stories: 
  "La costosà eredità" is one of the best short story by Bottaro. If you
haven't read it, that's a story one could
  not miss. In the same appeal and by the same author, is "Paperino e il
duello alla pistola" (I TL 279-A).


  **** SPOILER **** 







  In the above story, a gang of crooks conduct a hold-up in a bank, and give
the money to the same bank,
  opening an account.

  I recently read that something similar happened in Australia a few months
ago. A person opened an account in
  a bank after robbing them.

  And I always though that Bottaro's story was great but impossible! 

  Apparently we do try to find a reason for everything in comics while we
don't in the reality, and accept things
  as they are...

  ***** END SPOILER ****
