Holland&Holland rifle, caliber 20

The London-based company Holland & Holland was founded in the early 19th century and has, over nearly two hundred years, established itself as a manufacturer of exclusive, limited-edition firearms, producing fewer than 50 units of 12-gauge double-barrel shotguns per year. With a strong focus on quality, Holland & Holland also adheres to traditional English gunsmithing: the receiver and trigger guard are decorated with fine hand-engraved acanthus motifs and a serial number in gold inlay. Manufactured in the late 1970s, this rare 20-gauge Holland & Holland shotgun features a walnut stock treated with linseed oil—this finish not only protects the wood but also highlights the attractive tiger-stripe grain. The two horizontally aligned 30-inch (762 mm) barrels are equipped with traditional aiming elements for this class of firearm: a front bead and a solid rib between the barrels. The shotgun’s safety engages automatically when the action is closed, preventing accidental discharge. Included with the 12-gauge Holland & Holland is a branded leather transport case, emphasizing its collectible value, equipped with two safety locks and individual keys. This particular firearm is a rare find on the European market and will be of interest to collectors looking to acquire an antique weapon with a rich history in pristine condition.
