Just my opinion mind you but I could see this as a G&H but not a H&H. Again IMO. I say this because back in the 80's I understand from Don Allen that the H&H English won't even talk to the Italian gunmakers when in the same room. Let alone work an Arisaka. Stuckup is a word that describes best. (H&H maybe a little less then Purdey) Can't imagine them working on an Arisaka. However just to set the record straight I had the fortune to go to H&H just one time. They treated me like I was king even though they knew I had no intention of buying or even could I afford anything. Gave us the full tour including the work shop. Long story why but that maybe for a different day.

Don't take what I said too seriously, all in fun.
