Curl - Excellent engraving for a best rifle, I am sure you will be most pleased when you get it in hand

Interesting for the detail, this would be one of the first rifles made by H&H at their new factory opened late spring 1893 - All previous H&H double guns and rifles made mostly by W&C Scott or Philip Webley (as both mine are)

The fences and shape of the action are subtly different from the earlier bought in versions, maybe returning to flat hammers (which I had previously wondered about) as part of the new system, which would soon change to mostly hammerless. Like you, I much prefer the Black Powder Hammer double rifles, including the Paradoxes
