35422, 35423 - a pair found (1904 per chart)

A few years ago Stonehengearms advertised this rather plain Jane Reilly 12 ga. SxS BLE. It was number 2 of a pair, SN 35423. It is the first extant Reilly so far found with 295 Oxford Street address on the rib.

E.M. REILLY LONDON BOX LOCK EJECTOR
Number 2 of a pair this boxlock ejector has 30" barrels, 2 1/2" chambers and is nitro proofed.The bores are free from pitting and are choked at 1/2 and 3/4. the reach is 15 1/8". Although there is little engraving or embellishment on this gun, it is a gun of good quality. The game rib is engraved with " E.M. Reilly & Co" and the address of 295 Oxford Street in London. This was the address used from 1904 to 1911. There is a vacant escutcheon on the underside of the straight hand stock. The serial number is 35423 if anyone out there has or know of the matching gun to make a pair.


Browsing through Scotarms auctions past catalogs today, came across the action, stock and forearm of 35422....undoubtedly the number 1 of the above mentioned gun. (no photos).
