. . . . .*2f. SN 88 - a pair of .50 cal. percussion dueling pistols with J.C. Reilly, Holborn Bars, London engraved on the hexagonal Damascus barrels (photo from a private UK owner). A gentleman in UK read the Reilly history posted on Diggory Hadoke's on-line magazine Vintage gun journal and wrote to Diggory. He has a pair of J.C. Reilly Duelers, SN 88 with "Holborn Bars, London" on the barrels. These are now the earliest known Reilly's, which would date per my chart to early 1829 (but could just as well be 1828). The owner believes they were commissioned and bought by his great-great-great grandfather around 1829. He has given permission to reproduce these images.
