Very nice gun and well engraved. A #3 of a trio or... What does the ledger page say?

Tinker,
Possibly. What I really would like to find is a H&H flanged that I could scope. I would rather have a "beater" that would not make me cry if I dropped it...which happens. I have seen a Dominion in Australia for 30,000 which is beyond a beater price. Even something not all that original would work. I have a another 8 bore H&H double which may need to go...

Your search is in vain. There is no such thing as a Holland "beater".

JAZ-
I promise, the first...
-beater
-running
-won't be a shame to scope it
-flanged
-big bore BPE
-Holland and Holland
-that no one's going to weep when you smear a big bruiser gouge out of the action bar on the edge of a granite slab
-on the cheap
...I find I'll PM you the info on it.
AND I'll expect to see fresh blood on it as soon as you get possession on that season's big game tags!
Someone cross a finger for JAZ
I have a sense this might actually end up happening.
