Ted will respond on the Darne...my feeling was that the first Darne appeared about 1894. We tracked Darnes serial numbers up to the change-over in Saint Etienne from cm to mm for measuring chambers in 1912 (i.e. 6.5 to 65) and pretty well confirmed parts of the chart. Ted will affirm that there are always confounding exceptions.

The E.M Reilly with 30" Damascus barrels is my first double and my favorite.. The stock is French walnut. Reilly's are still a bargain in my opinion.
