The main other rifle I was after was the really early takedown Holland & Holland Deluxe 375 H&H Magnum SSB Mauser (cased). I know of another that sold not long ago that was made in 1918 and it was ~100 higher than the SN of the one I just got so I think it has to be really early. 375 H&H was made in 1912 and I am not sure how many they made each year. It went for right near the top of my "comfort zone" but I am really happy I got it. Oh, it also has the original cocking piece peep sight which I love.

I will have to write Holland & Holland and try to find out about this one.
