Barrel signed "HOLLAND & HOLLAND. 98 NEW BOND ST. LONDON" and "WINNERS OF ALL THE FIELD RIFLE TRIALS. 295. SEMI SMOOTH BORE," dovetail blade (loose) and two leaf sights, and matted top flat. Scroll engraved receiver signed "HOLLAND & HOLLAND" inside banners on each side, and automatic tang safety with "SAFE" in gold. Nicely figured pistol grip stock with multi-point checkering, horn forend cap, engraved grip cap, blank silver initial oval, cheekpiece and smooth steel buttplate. Comes with canvas bound takedown case with "M.M." initials on the exterior, H&H paper label on the inside, box of patches, and three-piece cleaning rod.

Fine. The barrel retains 50% thinned original blue finish. The receiver has a polished bright appearance. The action plate and action lever have been reblued. The wood is also fine with some minor dings and scratches and crisp overall recut checkering. Mechanically excellent. The case is fine showing minor to moderate wear. The barrel has been sleeved for .22 rimfire cartridges.
