Pinfires still going strong in 1867-1871-1880

Two references to Reilly pinfires in 1867




13816 - dated 1865 per the chart: Barnaby's Auction: E M REILLY & Co. AB.12B PINFIRE SHOTGUN No.13816, ONE HAMMER MISSING.

George L's 4 bore 15629 (dated 1869) - originally a pin-fire, converted to centerfire.


16810 - 1871 per my chart:
https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/e...49-c-a8759a5cd2
A 12-BORE PINFIRE DOUBLE-BARRELLED SPORTING GUN WITH CARTRIDGE LIFTER, serial no. 16810,
circa 1870, with rebrowned 30in. barrels, the top-rib engraved 'E.M. REILLY & CO, NEW OXFORD STREET LONDON & RUE SCRIBE PARIS', unusual cartridge lifter formed from the rear portion of the rib and molded to the shape of the breech-ends, plain borderline engraved action, plain borderline engraved bar-action locks signed 'E.M. REILLY & CO' in a banner, plain hammers, chequered walnut straight-hand butt-stock, iron heel-plate, 'Jones' swing under-lever opening and chequered splinter fore-end (action and locks brushed bright)


And in 1880.....Note: Wildfowler visited Reilly's "Establishment"..... The extractor mechanism Wildfowler describes sounds like the Perks extractor on my 16 bore 27853.
