Righto Harry. That Holland is stunning. I like the Scottish 12ga hammer gun also.... but not for that price.

What really caught my eye with the Holland & Holland was the tag. For the "assistance" I would need, the asking would have to be to a kind banker, not the gun room staff.
Cheers,
Jack

I always recall my late Grandfather's words of wisdom about bankers- went about like this-- "A banker will always loan you his umbrella without charge on any sunny day of the week"-- He did business with Cin. Bank and Trust- but- that was back in the golden era of the rule of 3-6-3 for bankers: Pay your depositors 3%, charge your borrowers 6%, and be at the Country Club every Thursday at 3 o'clock PM for Tee-time- Fore!!

Geoffrey Boothroyd wrote that having all of the guns he has seen and written about, his choice would be a Bonehill, an very good solid and reasonably priced gun. If a buyer is a dealer wanting to make a profit on a gun, this is probably not the gun for you, however Boothroyd seems to have been a reasonably educated man when it came to british shotguns, and one would think if the gun is in excellent condition this would be a great gun to own. I do in fact own one, and it is not for sale!!
