Peter: If you are seriously in the market for a Paradox, when I bought my Cosmos there was Holland & Holland in the same group that sold to a friend. I passed and took the Cosmos as it was virtually unused and very nicely turned out My friend bought the Holland as it was cosmetically used up (no color, bluing turned bull and spotty, etc) but the bbls and working parts were damn near perfect and the gun was tight. The original metal is also 100%, just honest age, no dings or gouges.

He wanted it to shoot, tried it, liked it, but he has moved on to pure shotguns at this point and might want to sell. I don't know if it would be difficult to get from here to you as far as regulations, import permits, etc, but I know he didn't pay that much for it and it is a 100% original gun. If you are interested, I can inquire for you. Please advise. Dave
