H&H 4-bore for the Nizam of Hyderabad
19/06/23 12:15 AM

Built in 1884 for Mahboob Ali Khan, the then Nizam of Hyderabad, this 4-bore hammer rifle has been painstakingly hand-engraved with a myriad of creatures including an elephant, bear, lion and tiger. Even after 130 years, the engraving is still remarkably crisp & untarnished - a marvel for a gun this age.

A Holland & Holland, Double-barrelled 4-bore black powder hammer rifle made for His Royal Highness The Nizam of Hyderabad, in 1884.

At Holland & Holland we are lucky enough to have an extensive collection of historic firearms representing key moments in gun development & history. Known as the Brevis collection, it grew from the personal collection of Sir Ralph Payne-Gallwey, a famed historian and ballistician.
