SN 8082 - Joseph Charles Reilly - 1856 - JC 7000 series - date 1856

This ebay advertisement turned up in a search recently. 8082:

The gun, certainly a muzzle loader, is in the JC 7000 series. It would be dated 1856 and would be one of the last guns made by Joseph Charles at 502 New Oxford Street. Without details it's difficult to know more but undoubtedly Veni Vidi Vici is on the barrel.

The site on eBay is dead. If anyone knows more about this gun, maybe someone from Derby, Conn.? - please post....it's an important historical artifact.

I've sent an email to a couple of gun shops in Derby, Conn. Hopefully more information can be found on this gun.
