Hollande & Holland 450 EX: thoughts?
      #174324 - 28/01/11 06:26 PM

Found the below Holland & Holland 450EX for sale and am seriously considering it...
Claiming (have no seen physically yet) Serial #144, which would put it @ around 1890?

Any thoughts? Anyone seen this one before (ie something I should be weary of)?

Cheers!

I think your serial # is off.

Yes, serial number seems a bit low.

Looks nice, the guns of this era were nicely made.

I think Scott's were still making H&H's gun at this point ?
Anyway confirm that / when H&H started making their own guns ?

It's a great calibre as well. If not shot out, could be good.
