Re: Reilly .500 3" BPE added to my collection

Mine is #21361 and the barrels are damascus. I was guessing 1883-4 based on serial and Henry PUN. Have you looked at Argo's thread on Reillys over on doublegun?

To your question about damascus barrels possibly being blued to appear as steel, the first known Reilly with steel barrels is #19953. This is from Argo44 (Gene) writing a history without benefit of any remaining company ledgers.

Can't wait to see more pics when you receive it.
