*7 August 1840: Company Name Changes to "Reilly":

In August 1840 the firm's name in advertisements changed from J.C. Reilly to just "Reilly," which may mark the advent of 23 year old EM as a full partner in the company.*7a EM is listed in the 1841 census as living with J.C. and his occupation, like that of J.C. is "Gun maker."*7b

The names on the gun ribs continued to be "J.C. Reilly" or "Joseph Charles Reilly."*7c

Case/Trade labels were styled like an embossed business card with the following inscription:
. . . . . . . . . ._____________________
. . . . . . . . . | Joseph Charles Reilly .|
. . . . . . . . . | . . . . Gun Maker . . . . |
. . . . . . . . . |. . .316 High Holborn. . |
. . . . . . . . . | . near Chancery Lane . |
. . . . . . . . . |____________________ | *7d
