Argo...none of that information is empirical. Sorry.

Many gun retailers advertising back in those days made a point to say guns they sold were built on premises. That was RARELY true. Thats been proven time & time again. Just a little detective work proves my point. No pictures or even descriptions of the factory. No apprentices that left and made their own guns. Are there ANY E.M Reilly factory workers listed in the Worshipful Company of Gunmakers? Any articles describing the work done at the Reilly factory? Who was the head gunmaker at the factory? The floor supervisor? If Reilly did indeed operate a working gun factory, those questions could very easily be answered. Company advertising and propaganda doesnt make it so.
