Matched pair of Holland & Holland shotguns
"Royal Sidelock Hammerless Ejector"
2 ½" game guns, serial No. 25100 & 25101 'Circa 1907".
This pair of guns are rounded body actions with magnificent special order game scene engraving.
This, combined with the rare side safety make these the best pair of game guns in Australia.
Built for driven game, both barrels are 28" choked imp cyl to both barrels,
a letter from Holland & Holland confirms original dimensions. Both barrels are in proof at .736.
No. 1 barrel set has excellent bores except for a small ripple 6" from muzzle on the right-hand barrel (very minor).
No. 2 barrel set is in 90% condition. Some very minor pits near the muzzle,
the barrel also has some very slight movement on the front hinge pin. Taking into consideration the age of these 2 guns,
these very minor blemishes are insignificant in regards to the overall condition of both guns.
