Reilly 28 ga. SxS at Southam's - Original Pinfire? #635092 09/04/2023 6:36 PM

Argo44	This 28 bore SxS is for sale at Southam's. https://www.southamsauction.co.uk/a...alse&sd=0&pp=48&pn=1&g=1 The address is wrong of course - it is 277 New Oxford street, not 227. The SN is allegedly 24716 which would date the gun to very late 1882- early 1883. However, the engraving looks early-mid 1860's and it sure looks like it might have originally been a pin-fire. Opinions? I will ask Southam's to confirm the SN.

Steve Nash	From the depth of the fences I would believe it to be an original central fire, though the style is reminiscent of the pin-fire. The shape of the lock plate where it abuts the action is different from the only Reilly pin-fire I have, if that means anything (see below). I'll be interested in hearing what you get back from Southam's.

Argo44	Southam's has added additional pictures of the 28 bore. Normally a Reilly SN is found on the tang, water-table, barrels and on the fore-arm. This SN 24716 is found on the tang, nothing on the action-flats, but there is what appears to be the sn on a flange of the lump ("716"can be discerned)., There is 'BNP" under a crown on the water-table. Not sure who this is.

Argo44	Thanks Dr. Drew. Since the SN is from 1882-83, I'm going to assume the barrel proof marks are those from 1875-87 and therefore there were no chokes on the original barrels thus no "not for ball."
