As you all know, I've been compiling a history of Reilly. Browsing the net tonight I came across these two interesting Reilly's for sale in UK. No prices mentioned. If I were anywhere but in the middle of the Sahara, I'd be tempted by the 410 especially.

SN 25851 (1884 per chart above) - with Metric bore measurements, it might have been ordered from Paris.
