Thanks as usual Dave. Here are a few comments:

-- 131065 will indeed be Riggs production. Use of a half pistol grip on the stock of a shotgun is also a give-away.
-- 35012 is new and has been recorded. Wish the weight of the gun had been mentioned in the ad.
-- 18775 is spring 1874. It should have both an Oxford Street address and the rue Scribe, Paris address on the rib.
-- The percussion rifle should be interesting. Use of E.M. Reilly & Co., puts it after October 1859 when the name became "E.M. Reilly & Co." Use of "Oxford Street" means it was made at 315 Oxford Street, which opened Aug 1858. Wish it had a serial number.
