I decided to part with the E.M. Reilly gun number 30227 featured in my original post, having had a lot of fun tracking down what it was, as I am left handed and couldn’t hit anything with its pronounced right hand cast off.


It is now languishing as Lot 6788 in Holts unsold lots from the Sealed Bid sale.

If anyone in the UK (or the US but the shipping and export costs would be prohibitive) wants an interesting gun please pm me and I could tell Holts to let it go to a good home for a nominal amount.

It is sleeved, has good bores and works OK (as long as you are not left handed).
