Continuing the thread of the last few posts, it is no surprise that I have also been unable to find support for the suppossed Jerome Gambit game "Halpern, Jacob - von Scheve, Theodor, London, 1880".
I could find no game reference for Halpern earlier than 1883, and only four games by von Scheve earlier than that year - all games against Siegbert Tarrasch.
As interesting - if, in some ways, unfortunate - as it would have been for Amateur - Blackburne, London, 1884 to have been anticipated, it remains an exciting and original "first".
