I believe this is likely to be Air Commodore Ian Malcolm Bonham-Carter. He was born in 1882. The Reilly labels changed in 1897, when he was 15, but, the gun could have been bought for him or by his father and his name added later. Cases and labels are always fascinating...and I don't plan to change it.

Interesting. My son has a school mate from that family and with that surname. Her cousin is the actress Helena Bonham-Carter.
