I posted this on the Reilly line. I do not need it. . . but. . somebody stop me: (Ted - you hate guns with gold so your opinion is already factored in).

SN 12893 - 1863: This is one of the finest pin-fires I've seen. The squared trigger back has been seen on other Reilly's from this period - most of them high-end guns. (Holt's is using this site's dating chart - finally):
