Default A Grade 1....

....Hollenbeck! This is my new project. I had an informative conversation with a fellow named Tom Archer about this gun. He said they are somewhat uncommon. The company started manufacturing the Hollenbeck in 1893 and the Grade 1 disappeared from the catalog before 1896. Hollenbecks were numbered sequentially. This one bears serial number 224. It has a few cosmetic issues, but locks up tight and has decent barrels. The wood needs some TLC, but the trigger guard poses the biggest challenge. I will have to let a pro fix it!

Sorry about the cockeyed photos. My wonderful Windows 8 program allowed me to rotate them for viewing, but they transferred here the way they were downloaded to my computer!
