The cased double rifle given to TR for his yr long 1909 safari, was a H&H 500/450NE 3 1/4"! It was presented to him by a group of English business men, and sports the stirling silver Presidential seal in the stock, and was refurbished to NEW condition a few yrs ago,by H&H, and used, by a young man, Tyssen Butler, in the filming of "IN THE BLOOD"by his father George Butler, and then sold, by the then owner, at auction, by a California auction house, for somewhere near $1,000,000 USD.

I handled this rifle at a shot show a few yrs ago, before the film was made, and the rifle sold to an un-known owner, at least un-known to me! That rifle is one I'd gladly pay to own, if I had that kind of money!
