I Hollis and Sons - Manufacturing date
31/10/17 12:19 PM

Hi there

I recently purchased a I Hollis and Sons 500/450 NE on an auction

I looking for a date of manufacture !

The proof marks seems like it is very similar to the Birmingham proofs of 1896-1904

Serial Number is 61620

There is no address on the gun, further complicating the dating

At a stage I saw a serial number list with associated dates of manufacture for the Hollis company but I am unable to find that post again

The gun was advertised as a BPE gun but during the bidding someone realized that is was actually proofed for a cordite load , so I went for it

The bore looks like new and the case hardening is in very good nick

Any help would be appreciated

Kind regards
