So a 23 bore for the 577 Snider? I would say that unless Reilly purchased patents of Hubert Joseph Comblain like Henri Mangeot & others, that it was actually made in Liège and maybe finished in England. The encircled >>ELG<< is just the Black Powder proof typical for the period up to the early 1890s. Sometimes one sees encircled >>EGB<< on Government wares. Unless the smoke pole is devoid of the Perron, Inspectors Marks, etc., I would say made in Liège and finished in England. Reilly must have had some stock in Comblain for his name to be added??? Now Reilly could have had a contractor in Liège?
