LeF. Here is a line on Reilly that will provide what you need on the firm. It's the best information available anywhere on Reilly: Reilly records do not exist and the firm's past can only be recreated from articles, advertisements, census data, serial numbered guns, etc.

You are welcome to read the "New Short History of Reilly of London" posted on p.20.

On p. 18 is a compilation of evidence he built his own guns. He may have imported actions in the white from Birmingham...but he made the guns himself. I'll post one advertisement from 1861.

..........April 14, 1861, "Bell's Life." If Reilly wasn't making his own guns, he sure as heck couldn't have allowed gentlemen to "superintend the progress of their gun."



..........11 Jul 1861 "Volunteer's Service Gazette"
