Manufactured in 1880 per Donald Dallas' "Holland & Holland: 'The Royal' Gunmaker". The blued barrel features a blade front and three-leaf (one standing, two folding) rear sights, "HOLLAND & HOLLAND. 98 NEW BOND St. LONDON" signed on the top flat, period London proofs, and a chamber with extractor. The barrel is fitted to the blued action which displays light floral scroll engraving. The rifle is fitted with a lightly figured and multi-point checkered forend with engraved shoe as well as a straight grip stock with steel buttplate.

Very good, overall, retaining 75% plus refinished blue finish with much of the loss on the action which is turned a mixed grey/brown, some light spotting, some high edge wear, and crisp checkering and dings and scratches on the reoiled wood. Mechanically excellent.
