The first pin-fire breech-loader built by Boss was number 1600, built in 1858, so all earlier numbers would be muzzle-loaders and not under-lever guns. Are you sure about that number?

I would like to hear about the mystery of the early serial number. The more we study, the more we know.

Could it have been a muzzle loader converted to a Jones Underlever? There is a Reilly so re-done....SN 10354 which I've dated to 1857:

Peter, contact Donald Dallas, he was loaned all the Boss records for writing his book, had them rebound for Boss and has had a enthusiastic approach to looking up Boss guns ever since. He might be able to help you with some info, maybe even come across it. ATB Toby

Can we please read one damn thread without you dragging some Reilly crap into it ?
