There are several Martini 450's not numbered by Reilly but sold by him. With a Jones under lever you'd suspect the SN would be perhaps the 21304?-or in that neighborhood. It would be interesting to know the SN and the address on the rib. Many Thanks. Every Reilly which turns up adds to knowledge.

#21,361 , GB # 731041963 , if I think about it tomorrow I'll tell you what the rib inscription is and post a picture on the auction . I'd like to have the gun myself I just think $7,800 is a touch high . But of course I'm most likely wrong .
