Blade front sight and three leaf rear sight on a partially matted rib. The barrel flats have several British proofs along with "390 450/400 2 3/8" and "32-270". The barrels are numbered to the gun and have an extractor. The left barrel is marked "HOLLAND & HOLLAND 98 NEW BOND STREET LONDON" and the right barrel is marked "WINNER OF ALL THE FIELD RIFLE TRIALS LONDON". The receiver, is marked "CHARGE 3 DRAMS BOTTLE CASE 2 3/8 INCHES" on the left side and the lock plates are marked "HOLLAND/&/HOLLAND". The receiver, lock plates, hammers, break lever and forearm hardware feature English scroll engraving. Equipped with sliding hammer safeties. Nicely figured pistol grip stock with checkering, cheekpiece, single barrel wedge, blank silver initial oval, engraved grip cap and serrated Bakelite buttplate. The forearm is numbered to the gun.

ConditionFine as refinished. The barrels retain 30% of the blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. The remaining metal surfaces retain 40% of the case colors. The front triggerguard screw is an undersized replacement. The wood is very fine with a few minor handling marks and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically fine.
