Thanks David. A few comments on these guns:
-- 7478: There is a "7005" EM Reilly that I've postulated to have a dropped "2" in front of the 7. It fits with that period (i.e 27478 would be 1885. The Midland barrels would have been added later of course. The fact that there is an apparent original Reilly with SN (2)7005 will lead me to put this gun into this 27478 slot until proven otherwise.

Added the following from message 2 (no surprises...wondering if 13914 was originally a pin-fire):
13914 (1865) - E.M. Reilly & Co., (Stock, action, forarm); 12 bore, Single barrel Shotgun. U-L, back-action hammer-gun. (1974 catalog)
26281 (1885) - E.M. Reily & Co., (no barrel). 12 bore SxS shotgun. Top lever, hammerless boxlock. Stock, action and Anson frond (1974 catalog)
26403 (1885) - E.M. Reilly & Co., (address not mentioned). .500 BPE SxS rifle. U-L, hammer gun (1974 catalog).
