The 1856 Reilly 15 bore SxS rifle 10054 went for 2,750 - a lot of money for a pin-fire but that is a historic gun I think. Did anyone here bid on it?

And thanks Aaron. I had that ad but had it dated to the 1857 edition of the Knitage and peerage of GB and Ireland. I'll have to check that out. If the same ad was in the 1856 version, that puts Reilly and "Fusil Bascule" back another 10 months.

Great find on the Law Times...that moves Reilly pin-fire breech loading ads back another couple of months. It'll force me to change the history ...again...but that the purpose of the board. Thanks again.
