Manufactured between 1911 and 1913 per page 363 of Donald Dallas' "Holland & Holland: 'The Royal' Gunmaker". Built with a blued steel barrel featuring a ramped blade front sight, a three-leaf (one standing, two folding) rear sight on the short rear quarter rib, front sling stud, "HOLLAND & HOLLAND. 98 NEW BOND STREET LONDON. WINNERS OF ALL THE FIELD RIFLE TRIALS" marked on the top, "HOLLAND'S/PATENT/CARTRIDGE/375 H&H MAGNUM" marked at the rear, and period London nitro proofs. The Mauser style action is also blued and displays highly attractive scroll engraving which extends to the bolt, bolt knob, and the set of Talley scope rings that hold a Zeiss Diavari V 3-9x42mm T* scope and shows an import mark. The remaining metal components are coin finished including the fine scroll engraved lower tang, the triggerguard which also bears the serial number, and the floorplate which is marked "4/CARTRIDGES" at the front. The rifle is mounted to a beautifully figured and multi-point checkered pistol grip stock with an ebony forend tip, coin finished and engraved grip cap, raised cheekpiece, "JME" in the gold inscription oval, and a red rubber recoil pad. Includes a factory full length wood and canvas case.

Very fine as professionally refurbished, retaining 99% blue and coin finishes, a few tiny subsurface pits on the barrel, minor handling evidence, minor scratches on the bolt handle, and sharp checkering on the stock. The optics are sharp. Case is good. Mechanically excellent.
