China ? NO NO NO.

Worked well for Frederick The Great and George Patton too- but Patton's ace in the hole was Colonel Wm. Koch -his brilliant G-2 Chief--

Unfortunatly the focus is on price & profit not quality. i pick up my newest shotgun tomorrow, made in London in 1954 Quality in anything beats price. the cost of something is long forgotten when it falls apart. How many things being made today anywhere in the world will be working in 50, or 150 years from now? If something is still working then will it's value have increased dramatically? I think the ansers are No & No

Hi Richard.
Would like to see your new London gun made in 1954 please could you
post a pict or two with some details.
All the best Dave.

I'll post some pics in the Other fine doubles forum soon. I'm not good at this and need to be walked through the process.

The details are it's a Holland & Holland 20 ga, 26 inch bbls straight grip with just a wonderfull piece of Marble cake walnut in it. There is a factory letter and the gun is exactly as it left the factory in 1954. It was sold originally in London. Cased with the original owners name embossed on the Oak and Leather case. Weight 5lb 9oz a Grouse/Woodcock gun for sure

All the best Dave.
