The history on the gun that I received from the family that consigned it to auction states that the gun was purchased by their great great grandfather from Reilly's shop in London. It goes on to say that he used it for waterfowling while in England and later on the Mississippi Flyway after returning to the U.S. It states that it was originally a 4 bore pinfire gun and he later returned it to Reilly to be converted to central fire. They have sent me several 4 bore pinfire brass cased shells that they later found in the home along with another cleaning rod set.
Destry, I have yet to hear you say anything positive regarding my posts. I have never met you, to my knowledge and for the life of me I can't understand your negativity. As we used to say in Uncle Sam's Navy: "Shape Up Or Ship Out"
Best Regards, George
