Manufactured in 1885 per Donald Dallas' book "Holland & Holland: 'The Royal' Gunmaker". The barrels are a replacement set marked "BEST QUALITY BARRELS TO HOLLAND & HOLLAND. ROYAL. BY W.J. PIERCE & SON" on the barrel rib. Chambers marked 2 1/2" with extractor, chokes measured improved cylinder/modified, and 14 3/4" LOP.

Very good, original finish on the replacement barrels, grey patina on the action, and light handling evidence. The wood shows some dings and scratches. Dent in left barrel. Mechanically excellent.
