I came upon this site some years ago sponsored by "The Field" Magazine, which is searching for missing guns which were made as pairs. They have all sorts of makers...Churchill, Holland and Holland (really a who's who of English gun makers).
http://www.matchedpairs.com/seeking_list.php I was interested in Reilys. They had posted these serial number for Reilly's (I believe Riley is a misspelling - they look like E.M Reilly SN's). So at least these guns likely had a mate.
Reilly
27785, 27786, 27787, 33859, 231559 (probably 31559), 33915, 535521 (probably 35521), (1st three guns look like triples)
Riley
1832, 24956, 25723, 27854, 30364, 30486, 32941, 33240, 33265, 33889, 35134, 35156, 35350, 35572, 35631,
I contacted the site: Joehall@matchedpairs.com. - hoping to obtain more Reilly's for my database. Joe Hall, now a senior editor, could not help much. He said Adam Morton now runs the matched-pair business. ajmorton88@me.com . I wrote Mr. Morton but never received a response. I did forward a complete list of extant Reilly pairs, the three pairs I've helped reunite, and a list of extant Reilly's which appear to be missing a pair. Unfortunately nothing came of the contact. But the concept is an interesting one.
