A late deluxe 15,000 series underlever 12 bore hammer paradox. 28" steel barreled. Re-London Nitro'd. Shot and tested by Holland & Holland using their current production paradox cartridges. Very fine crisp detailed engraving throughout. Magnificent well figured walnut stock. The gun is presented in its' canvas and leather case, with I believe the previous owners' name on it. Complete with a range test target and five boxes of Holland 12 Bore paradox cartridges. A rare opportunity to acquire a classic deluxe nitro paradox underlever hammer gun.

Nice gun but looks like it was very extensively refinished. Look at all that proud metal!

Jim - to get full information you would need to go to H&H who will probably have the history, (at least who bought it), unless built for stock, less likely for one of this quality
With the full serial number info may be in the Paradox book, I am not sure whether it is the heavy load Paradox with the 4 1/2 - 5 dram load (probably given the weight and serial number) or not
Flat hammers were slightly more common on 8 and 10 bores, but certainly were fitted to other bores "best quality" which this certainly is
JVW is correct, it has been completely refurbished and re engraved, (as one would expect if done by H&H)
A very nice example
