It was estimated at £ 300 - £ 600 at Bonhams in 2004 (don't know the sale price):

I've asked Holt's to send me photos of the barrel flats and asked the questions Dr. Drew mentioned about wall thickness. I have a Reilly 12 gauge hammer gun I shoot about as well as I can and don't need another but am curious about the gun. If it's being sold as a complete gun, it had to pass a modern proof at some point. It just has a quality about it that is appealing - right before UK Damascus got better, forend attachments changed, before the engraving became really tight English scroll, it has surely early rebounding hammers - the patent was taken out in 1867 - the earliest Reilly rebounding hammers is SN 15126 (spring 1868), and it has the Jones underlever.
Holts asked again for the Reilly SN date chart. I thought they might actually use it...but the chart has SN 16443 as spring 1870. . .they listed it as "circa 1868". close enough.
29 1/4" barrels - Reilly standard was 30". Wonder if an inch was sawed off?
