A description of the SN's mentioned in the history is available in the next post - list of extant Reilly's. But read the 19th century papers.heck read the US papers about 1928 candidate Al Smith or about JFK and it had to have been a factor.Īttached is also the latest SN date chart which I'm convinced will get a Reilly owner close to the date his gun was manufactured. I feel I can defend every word of it, much of it documented above, (and can write a justification with footnotes for each paragraph below).Īnd in the interest of not being politically correct.Reilly was an Irish Catholic.whether this influenced his ability to obtain a "Royal warrant" in Britain (he did in Catholic France, Spain and Portugal) or even a major contract with Arsenal is problematic. Here is the final version of the Reilly history which corrects dozens of erroneous writings on the company, including Brown's Vol III, Boothroyd, and many others including every article written about Reilly in the last 15 years (see p.17 for numerous examples). The research and additional info on Reilly's can be read on this line: It is the most accurate information on Reilly anywhere (and it will be updated as new guns appear). ![]() This article was recently published in two parts in Diggory Hadoke's on-line magazine.
