And for fun for you all who have never had the opportunity to travel to the sub-continent (I only spent 11 years there)....here is an Indian muslim shikari discussing in Hindi/Urdu his EM Reilly SN (as best I can make out) 20498, a top lever, ejector hammer gun which would date per my chart to 1877. From what I gather this was a famous gun, owned by a notable person and it suddenly devolved in 1977 to ...someone...I'll have to tap our Indian community for the translation,

I know these people....I can smell the hut. You can hear the budgerigars (parakeets) in the background, the kids, smell the curry. I'm suddenly homesick. (Except in my day the charpoy would not be made out of plastic).
