30363 - 30364 - (1889) - Anson & Deely Patent use 6250


I've records of a number of Reilly's using the A&D patent...this is the only one with an A&D number matched to a Reilly SN other than Russ's. So from Russ's 23536 - AD 3814 to this 30383 - AD 6250: Reilly made 6,850 odd guns. If the AD patent use numbers were maker specific... 2,420 odd of those Reillys would have used AD actions (about 40%).

The example we present here (SN 30363) is Number 1 of a pair. It is stamped on the action flats with Deeley’s Patent Ejector use number 428 and Anson and Deeley’s Patent use number 6250 for the box lock action.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a gun in Norway listed in the original SN list on P.3: Note that the A&D patents for this gun and the one above are only 13 numbers apart. I'm trying to contact the poster to ask for the SN. This gun and the one above also both have the Deeley ejector patent, this one is one number ahead of the above guns. https://www.indiansforguns.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=15506

Name: E.M REILLY & Co, 277 Oxford Street, London.
Description: Boxlock by EM Reilly. Built on a Westley Richards action with the WR patented top lever and dolls head. Lovely Damascus tubes. Nice wood. Scroll engraved. Ejector. Intercepting sears. Original black powder proof. Number 2 of a pair. Action flats marked “Deeley ejector patent 427” (1880?) and “Anson & Deeley patent 6265 (about 1889?). Now I'm wondering if this Norway gun is the number 2 of the 1st gun above....the Deely ejector patent use numbers are one digit apart.

Also, The above is very similar to this gun (no SN supplied but probably around 303xx)
