There are two very early Reilly Percussion guns for sale in UK, one SxS with 316 High Holborn address (1836-47) and one single barrel shotgun with the Holborn Bars address (1828-36). Both look to be in excellent shape. There are so few Reilly guns remaining from this time period that historically these could be quite important. I have so far been unsuccessful in getting the auction house to respond to queries about the serial numbers:

(Looks to have an octagonal barrel)

I have a feeling this is 14 bore SN 162, the oldest known Reilly long gun in existence previously sold at Holts 2008 and again by Holts via proxibid 2014 (Sold for £500):

This might be identical to a 10 bore previously sold by Holtis via proxibid in 2014 (Sold for £800) No visible SN:

Edit: The Hawley Auction confirmed that these two percussion guns were indeed to ones sold at Holts in 2014, the single barrel being SN 162.
