I'm sure the "J.P Patent" on the original subject gun is not/not for Purdey's Pat 1104. That Patent expired 01 May 1877. Here is the last Reilly with that 1104 patent which includes use number 4928. It is SN 20623, which the Reilly chart would date to April 1877 (now used as a "sanity check" date marker) - (not from the use number itself...but the fact that it has a use number).
