Reilly fakes - Lagopus knows!

Following up on DD's above post...we both agree that the percussion gun he bought - no SN - Birmingham proofs - is a pretty awful fake:

Lagopus offered this 5 years ago - he was spot on (as usual):
Reilly guns were sometimes forged as I acquired one once. I knew what was and was given it. Totally un-restorable and nothing like the work turned out by Reilly himself although it might have fooled a blind man. I de-activated it as a wall-piece for someone. May have a photo somewhere on file.
