Nagel Menz Baden-Baden shotgun cal.12

Founded in the 19th century, the London-based company Holland & Holland® has been producing some of the finest smoothbore firearms, crafted entirely by hand by master gunsmiths with decades of experience. Staying true to traditional British gunmaking, the brand emphasizes exceptional quality and elegant design. Due to the lengthy and complex production process, Holland & Holland® limits its output to no more than 50 firearms per year, making a 12-gauge shotgun from this manufacturer a highly sought-after acquisition among collectors worldwide. The showcased example was produced in the 1970s and features exquisite hand-engraved acanthus ornamentation covering the entire receiver, highlighting its antique value. This shotgun follows the classic configuration of side-by-side barrels with double triggers. Upon closing the barrel, the gun is automatically set to safe, preventing accidental discharge. The stock is finished with linseed oil, not only enhancing the walnut’s natural grain but also offering reliable protection against external elements. Thanks to this craftsmanship, the shotgun has been preserved in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition and will serve its future owner for decades to come. Due to the global reputation of Holland & Holland®, their products remain a sound investment for those looking to add a 12-gauge antique shotgun to their collection. Our consignment store, Arm Elite, offers a wide selection of antique firearms from various eras — from Holland & Holland® to Lebeau-Courally® — all available in our catalog.
