During the 1950s - 70s the British guntrade was in very hard times. Less than a year ago, at the Kassel gunshow, I refused to buy a M98 rifle inscribed "Rigby .275 High Velocity" in the traditional style for a paltry Euro 800.-. Apart from the name and serial number the thing smelled a lot like "Ferlach". Stock of simple walnut with a foreend longer than the classic Rigby, ex-military 98k action, continental style rear sight, funny flat bolt handle. Disregarding the "Rigby" marking, it's value as a post-war 7x57 rifle would be about Euro 200.- here at best.
But I have seen two "Holland & Holland" abominations from the same time as well, both in .375 H&H Magnum. One on a P14 Enfield Action, the other on an opened up ex-98k sniper action, the plugged holes of the former long side mount still visible. Both with Roell type light alloy bottom metal. Both with rather plain walnut stocks, with a finish I can do better. But the best: on both rifles the checkering was cut lopsided, asymmetrical! The only feature that resembled pre-war or now Holland & Holland rifles was the barrel profile and the open sights.
