Those devices behind the hammers look like old muzzle loader cap flash protectors? Any idea what they are? The fancy shape in front of the hammers and behind the firing pins are typically called "percussion style fences"

My experience has been that he does respond to questions but may be away. Nice gun. Good luck if you decide to purchase.

Just a question here from someone still learning about English guns. What would the significance be today, for a potential buyer, of nitro proofs, with 2 1/2" chambers? Would the buyer be willing to shoot heavier loads in it if it had nitro proofs? I would think not. Was there a difference between the payloads of BP proof and NP ?
I was told by Cyril Adams, when I began my search for an English or Prussian hammer pigeon gun, to look for heavy nitro proofs ................ 1 1/4 oz. or higher. I could understand that, for someone wanting to shoot 1 1/4 oz. loads.
Just "axxing".

No significance at all....just means she swallowed a couple of hard pills and survived.
I'd say the reproof came when she was tarted up for sale.
I believe for a gun to be sold in England it has to have a current proof.
My guess is the high asking price is including the cost of tarting.
Just speculations...

Just speculations... Not quite Frank. A gun can be sold in the UK without "current proof" but it must remain in proof. The bores can not exceed the maximum diameter at last proof, no matter when that proof was done. An older gun that is in proof does not need to be re-submitted for current proof standards.

SKB is right. And all the guns that may be out of proof, there will be no seller in GB who wants to sell you one because the risk to him is too great. They dont even want to export any out of proof gun.
Thats a nice looking gun but seems to be on the high end on price. For that Id want th barrels to ge in pristine condition, not on the thin side of half worn out.

The price seems high for a 12 ga shotgun though it looks great. As you all know I keep track of Reilly's. I've seen Reilly shotguns offered for very high prices in Europe and America. But the average for a gun of that quality would seem to be between $3,00-$4,000. Reilly's are shooting guns. Just for comparison (and this may be comparing apples and oranges here), here are some of Terry Buffum's Reilly hammer guns sold over the past three years at Amoskeog. I felt the prices they sold for were pretty moderate. I said at the time (Spring 2016) that there were going to be some happy shooters buying those guns and the prices they sold at proved me right. It was one of the things that attracted me to the brand - you could get a really nice looking, great handling gun for an affordable price. 13033,($1,955); 14285 ($1.035); 15283 ($1,610); 17391 ($):17392 ($2,185); 18550 ($):17496 ($1,725); 21883 ($1,380); 24354 ($):25460 ($); 26517 ($1,265); 26537 ($2,060):
