*43 Early 1860’s: Reilly and Cutlery, Swords, Bayonettes

Business anthologies at this time identified EM Reilly as both gun and pistol manufacturers and sword/cutlery makers.*43a Reilly's name has been found engraved on bayonettes and swords from the era. Bsyonettes were a part of the Yoemanry Militia “kit” and Reilly incuded a bayonette to go with each militia rifle he sold, enough volume to make a subsidiary business profitable.*43b

One surviving Reilly bayonette is a slightly modified version of the “official” “sword bayonettes” attached to Gen. Jacob’s patent SxS’s which fired an explosive bullet; Reilly made the guns under license (see chapter 30 above).*43c
