That is a huge help.....it takes the first known Paris address on a rib back 287 numbers from 15270 - to 14483. Could you please post a photo of the gun and rib? I'll modify the above list. And this is what is badly needed - Reilly owners providing new information from their guns - there are at least 40 which have been auctioned in the last few years where the SN or addresses on the ribs were not mentioned. (I keep all ads and photos from the ads of Reilly's for reference). Since the first known advertisement mentioning 2 rue Scribe that I've found is Feb 12, 1868, you can be pretty sure your gun was serial numbered in that month (unless/until earlier ones show up.
