8025 - 7000 series - dated to 1857 - one of the last JC's
Reilly, New Oxford St. London; 13 bore; Rifle; Percussion hammer gun, Muzzle loader (Buffum). (marked Veni, Vidi, Vici)
a percussion rifle (single barrel) I still have with a skull and cross bones and "Veni, Vedi, Vici" engraved. Bore is just over .700, so perhaps 13 bore. Two groove, so made for those "waisted bullets". A ball with a "belly band" and a short pointed bullet with two rectangular "bumps" are in the patch box which is engraved with what I think is a red deer. Fixed leaf marked 100. Flip up rear sight leaves for 150, 200, 250 and 300.

8463 - Mainline Reilly SN - 1847

http://jamesdjulia.com/item/lot-1361-e-m...nal-case-40673/

E. M. REILLY PERCUSSION DOUBLE EXPRESS RIFLE WITH ORIGINAL CASE. SN 8463. Cal. .390 Groove diameter. 5-Groove Enfield type rifling. Approximately 1 turn in 50″. Unusual 24″ stepped octagonal barrels have extremely heavy breeches. “Reilly, New Oxford Street. London.” is engraved on narrow sunken top rib. Rear express sight is mounted on island base, has one standing, two folding leaves, plus an additional long ladder blade with very fine U-notches for precision shooting. German silver front blade is inset in raised front boss. Bottoms of bbls have London proofs and SN. Hickory ramrod has brass tip and tail, and is held by one long plain pipe mounted with sling eye. There is a retaining boss at front end of bbls which engages groove in ramrod tip. Barrels are made of unusual broad patterned skelp twist. Case hardened patent breeches have SNs on hooks, and vented platinum “blow-outs”. What appear to be original, square shouldered nipples are deeply set into fences. Breech iron is engraved with very nicely cut open scroll. Front action locks with high rounded serpentine hammers, are separated from bbls in Westley Richards fashion. Locks are engraved with more open scroll, as are hammers, which terminate in stylized dolphins heads. Lockplates are also engraved “Reilly London” and have vignettes of game; a recumbent stag on left, and running stag on right. There are silver flash guards between breech iron and lockplates. Scroll engraved trigger plate has circular finial. Trigger guard bow is engraved with another running stag. SN is on grip. Dense, slightly marbled and figured European walnut full pistol grip buttstock measures 14″ over steel, long tang, scroll engraved buttplate. Patchbox with spring-loaded circular cover is on right side of stock. Cover depicts a stag approaching through moors. Stock features large shadow line right hand cheekpiece, engraved steel grip cap, 18 LPI checkering with mullered borders, and vacant gold oval, as well as sling button, on toe line. Forestock attaches to bbl with side nail through oval steel escutcheons. Drop at heel: 2″, drop at comb: 1-5/8″. Weight: 11 lbs. 6 oz, LOP 14″. Makers oak case with inlet brass corners, is lined in deep burgundy velvet, with small Reilly paper label. Accessories include newly made leather sling, with old snap swivel, original key, as well as a copper-bodied brass top flask engraved “Reilly no. 8463”, which throws a very large charge of powder. This unusual and high quality rifle was made during an era of great experimentation with many different attempts at producing long range rifles. This particular rifle probably used a very long, for the caliber, bullet, with large powder charge, and was probably extremely effective. It would be lots of fun to see how it performs today. CONDITION: Very fine. Bbls retain 80% original brown, thinning on high edges, with some areas of dark discoloration from cleaned oxidation. Bores are excellent and bright with some minor pitting toward muzzles. Breech iron, locks, and hammers show a considerable amount of their original case color, and evidence of some cleaning. Stock retains most of its original French polish with a number of knocks, marks, and dings, as well as some lifting. Trigger guard and buttplate have most of their original blue, but silvering and flaking. Quarter size area at heel on buttplate shows heavy oxidation, and needs further cleaning. Patchbox has been cleaned to silver, with many dark areas. Locks are crisp. Exterior of case appears to be re-finished, with some cracks on bottom, glued. Interior cloth is very good, showing many areas of discoloration from contact with gun. Label is dark with large area illegible. Partitions are tight. Flask is good. 4-40673 MGM110 (5,000-7,000)
