Description:
Holland’s records show this fine little 16g started life as a Paradox, a shotgun that could also serve as a rifle as it had a short section of rifling at the muzzle. At some point in the guns history the rifling was removed and it was made solely a shotgun.
Weighing in at 6 lbs. 3 oz. it certainly handles extremely well (balances right on the hinge pin) and points like it will be a deadly upland bird machine. To use the word "machine" does seem wrong however as this gun being built during the golden age of Holland & Holland and English gun making shows in every way the quality and craftsmanship of the gun makers art.
As many of you know, I personally hunt upland with a 16g. hammer double and I cannot express enough the joy I have had doing this. I hope but am confident the next owner of this little shotgun will share this experience. *** Note: To see this gun with high resolution photos and a zoom-in feature, go to the vintagedoubles main site and search for the gun ID: 3477 or browse the main site to see our full gun collection.
