I came across these markings on the bbls of a Reilly BP hammer rifle:



Any idea what the A & T is for?

This mark is on both sets of tubes and each marking is following by a use # for the patent.

Thanks,

OWD

Cool. Thanks for the info.

BTW: Any ideas on who made Reilly's DRs in the 1870-1880 period?

I appreciate the help.

I do not but you may PM Terry Buffum. He has owned quite a few over the years and his guns are going to auction this fall. He is very generous with his time and knowledge. Best of luck.

OWD, it's possible to date the gun (or more accurately the tube set), by looking up the BPUN. Jon Kirton's book provides the numbers for Henry's own guns and their date.
Best regards,
