JB, I took a closer look at that label and am pretty sure (through the haze and patina and oblique angle) it is pre-1859...it seems to have the 502 Oxford Street building meaning it will have "Reilly" vice E.M Reilly. (jpgbox.com is on the blink so for the moment the label analysis can't be accessed). I can't tell if it has the medals (which would make it post 1855). The label looks original but of course the question arises, did the label belong to that case? and/or did the gun belong to the case?
I did not have this gun in the Reilly master list; it's been added...thanks.
Reilly label 1848-55
1855-58
1859-68 (with variants - sometimes not listing he branch establishment)
