===============*11 1847: Change in numbering FOOTNOTES ===================
Note: There are a series of posts early in the Reilly line explaining how the conclusion that the Reilly's skipped 5000 serial numbers was arrived at and documenting this further. Several publications had mentioned this possibility including a couple of magazine articles, one by Terry Weiland, but they generally said the jump was from "4000" to "8000". This Reilly line research confirmed the jump but refined it to "3350" to "8350" based on extant/known guns.
