Hard to say looking at it on the iPhone. Possibly, but I would presume they have been “redone” sometime during its recent past. Unless the seller has proof otherwise. Barrels look rebrowned. And the underllever reblued. But the action pins lack niter bluing, so it wasn’t totally redone. Nor the screws. Obviously the gun has been shot often since refreshing.

I am fascinated by English case color, but I am definitely not an expert.
Hard for me to understand how this gun could have had enough use to wear the under lever checkering to that extent, and still have that much remaining original case color, though.

Not original. Has that typical frosted look of a re-colored frame.

If I were interested in purchasing a gun like this, I might be willing to look beyond the case colors in making my decision. By "beyond", I mean general condition and price.

Crap job on the case color,but those fences look very interesting. Speaks to the wide variety of venders Reilly used.

I'd like to know how the two above posters determined it's a crap job...
Case colors and re-blacking looks fine to me.
The screw holding the under leaver is not indexed...The lock pins could never have retained that high a polish for 100 plus years.
Nice gun does it make a difference if it's been restored ?
The breach face and bore diameter/condition would be a bigger worry to me.
If I wanted it and it was priced fairly I'd buy it.

Definitely not original, barrels have been redone but look good. I have a Reilly 8 gauge with articulated firing pins. Neat guns!
