Factory Game Scene Engraved Isaac Hollis Boxlock Ejector Double Rifle with Case

Blued steel barrels with ramped blade front sight and flip up 200 yard/meter marked rear sight and detachable scope claw mounts on the raised rear quarter rib which is marked "I. HOLLIS & SONS. BIRMINGHAM" ("AM" covered by rear scope mount). The rifle has ejectors and has been rechambered in 9.3X74R and reproved in 2010 at the London Proof House. The casehardened boxlock action displays fine floral scroll engraving surrounding "I. HOLLIS & SONS." on either side and two big cat game scenes, a tiger on the left and a leopard on the right. The rifle features bushed firing pins, double triggers, and an automatic tang mounted safety switch. Lightly figured, multi-point checkered splinter forend with engraved fittings including the Anson button release and pistol grip stock with cheekpiece and engraved grip cap and buttplate. Includes a leather cornered canvas bound takedown case marked with "Q. L. C." on the lid and green baize interior featuring an Isaac Hollis trade label and a set of scope rings. Length of pull 14 5/8 inches. Weight 10 lbs. Provenance: The Malcolm King Collection

ConditionVery fine, retaining 99% reapplied blue finish with recut markings, smooth, polished silver patina on the lock and buttplate with some softening of the engraving, and light handling evidence. The Anson push button has turned a plum patina. The refinished wood is also very fine with a few scattered light scratches, some slight gaps to the metal, and crisp recut checkering. The case is very good with moderate storage/transport type wear. The right lock does not appear to be cocking, otherwise mechanically fine.
