Re: Holland & Holland 16-Bore 9-Dram Double Rifle

I thought maybe Jim would update with this information. He's really busy doing real-world things, so I'll update for him.

Question: Do you think our Watson577 would be satisfied with the wonderful pieces of brass he hand-crafted for this rifle? Well, certainly not until they look proper! They have no headstamp.




But that's not a problem. He had a headstamp die made:

And it worked against the plain brass heads:




And that which was once plain is now adorned with a proper headstamp. Problem solved.









Beauties, aren't they?
