Default British Best

Here are some pics of the Holland & Holland that was discussed on the China NO-NO thread.

The gun was made in 1954 and weighs 5lb 9oz and is a 20 bore. This should be a Grouse/Woodcock slayer of the first order

Exceptional! That thing has killer wood. Those are nice pictures Rich (who posted them for you?) and that wood looks so much better in the light we saw it in... can you imagine?

PS, how many quarts of blood was that one??

My thanks go to the Old Pollack himself for walking me through the picture posting process. i'm still bleeding (and mourning the loss of a GHE vent rib 16) over this one.

It has been a fiscally irresponsible spring
