Thanks Gil, I don't have that Reilly in my library; I've sent them a message asking for SN and address on the rib. Very interesting video...and just plain pleasant!

In my database of photos of almost 600 Reilly's - 40 boxlocks....there is not one other "scroll-back" action. There is not one other Greener cross bolt. And the engraving does not look like Reilly. I tried to capture a SN on the tang...There doesn't look to be a one or it just won't show up. And, there is no way a real EM Reilly in that condition would sell for £ 200.

I have to wonder if this might a Reilly marketed gun (although he said it was a "London gun"). There is something odd. I've written to Holts and to Simon Reinhold .. No response. A pity. I'm not trying to "make wrong." I just want the SN and address for the records.
