From Air Rifles, to Cane Guns, to Pistols, to Shotguns and Rifles, both boxlock and sidelock... were there any type of guns that Reilly didn't build? It is hard to think of another gunmaker anywhere that was so prolific and catered to so many different types of gun buyers.
It still seems rather odd that there has not been one photograph of gunmakers at work within the Reilly factory. Nor has there been any census data recording any London residents who were employed as actioners, filers, barrel makers, blackers, stock makers, etc. at the Reilly Factory. We seem to have ample evidence of actual gun-making employees at other gunmaking firms and factories. But all we get about Reilly is advertisements and anecdotal evidence.
I suppose they could have just been too busy building all these different guns, and printing advertisements, to take any photographs or participate in any census. Or maybe I just missed it????
