Fine Engraved E.M. Reilly & Co. .25 (Rimfire) Single Barrel Gallery Pistol of Unusual Size with Original Leather Holster

Manufactured c. 1880 with an octagonal barrel with dovetailed sights, "E.M. REILLY & Co. 502, NEW OXFORD ST LONDON" signed on top, scroll engraving at the breech end, and Birmingham proofs and "8" on the underside. The action has "122" on the bottom ahead of the barrel release "trigger," scroll engraving and lined borders, and a spurred trigger guard. The finely checkered, bag shaped stock has a German silver escutcheon punched with the owner's initials "ES." An original brown leather flap holster with a belt loop is included.

Rating definitionVery fine. The barrel, hammer, and barrel release catch each retain 90% plus original blue finish. The action retains 30% original blued finish and has smooth gray and brown patina where the finish has flaked and some minor patches of oxidation. The barrel signature and engraving are crisp. The stock is also very fine and has sharp checkering with some minor age related storage and handling blemishes. Mechanically excellent. The holster is about good and is age worn with absent stitching, flaked and rubbed exterior, incomplete flap strap, and absent toe disc.
