There is a 5 year posting window for this line and that window runs out on the p.57 Reilly serial number database this spring. It must be moved forward to allow for future updates. When this happens the "5000" series will have to be added. While there is an upper limit 1847-48, based on addresses on ribs, there is no lower limit except for the August 1835 move to 316 High Holborn.
I've decided to put the start of the series at summer 1837 when he ceased serial numbering pistols. This could be 1836 or summer 1840 when EM became a full partner. However, until more information is developed here is what will be added to the chart based on 7 guns in the series including adding to the yearly total of guns serial numbered:
