Holland & Holland No. 2 later known as “The Badminton”. 29″ chopper lump barrels, hidden third bite with raised game rib, 2-1/2″ chambers choked improved modified and full (.020/.035). Fabulous original condition, this rounded bar sidelock finished in 1916 retains 98% rich case colors and lustrous blue. A true collector quality gun features hand detachable sidelocks, double triggers, auto ejectors, and auto safe. A wonderful H&H that would compliment the finest collection or the most discerning shooter. Straight hand highly figured French walnut stock of deep red color and black figure throughout measures 1-3/8′ comb, 2-1/4″ heel, 14-1/4″ length of pull over the original horn butt plate. A few very minor handling marks. Just a stunning example of old world craftsmanship in near new condition. The horn butt has a bit of worm damage that could easily be remedied. H&H factory records show the gun conforms in every detail and weighs 6 lbs even. Appears to have shot a couple of boxes of cartridges as the breech face has all the color. Simply the best.
