Yeah, 1904 Brum. No date code mark (crossed swords) evident, which came into use in 1921.

70 Cordite, 480 Max is the original standard .500/.450 load. 65 Cord was Tropical. Standard was 75 Cordite later. Teddy Roosevelt's 1908 Holland was a 70 Cord gun.

A. Hollis disappeared from the London directories in 1919 and is presumed to have ceased to trade then or just prior. I imagine that they closed up during WWI. I think this has to be accurate because I've never encountered one with the date code. 1904 to 1914 should catch this one. The highest A. Hollis SN I've encountered was 15153.

All of the hammerless A. Hollis DRs I've seen have been Harry Leonard built guns. It will be interesting to see if this hammergun is. If it is, Leonard's number will be stamped just in front of the fore-end loop on the lower rib - 3 or 4 digits. The highest Leonard number I've found on an A. Hollis gun was 1962 (on Hollis number 15153).
