H&H 450/400 2 3/8"
      19/06/12 03:25 AM

Hi all,

Waiting for some better weather to get some outside shots, but wanted to share these pics. The resolution is crappy, and doesn't begin to do justice to the crispness of the engraving, etc.. I'll see if I can correct that later.

H&H 450/400 2 3/8" top lever, rebounding back action hammer gun with stalking safeties c. 1890. Stephen Ambrose at the London office has been incredibly responsive and helpful concerning my inquiries. A copy of the ledger page is included-interestingly the LOP is listed as "not finished." He said this is unusual and while he couldn't confirm, speculated that the Silver's pad is original to the rifle. Given its appearance, I tend to agree. There was a work order tag in the case showing the post 1960 Bruton St address-he confirmed the rifle was returned to them in 1978 to auction at Sotheby's.

I don't have a scale, but it is a lithe, great handling little rifle and I look forward to getting it up and running. Will follow up with a report.
