Description:
Composed pair of Holland & Holland Northwood boxlock ejectors, one in 12g and one in 20g.
Very high quality boxlocks offered by Holland & Holland after their acquisition of W&C Scott (formerly Webley & Scott) in the mid 1980's.
Each gun is built on a scaled A&D boxlock action with two triggers, rolled guard bows, automatic safeties, and color hardened actions that are engraved with the Maker’s name and a traditional scroll pattern. The word “SAFE” is inlayed in gold. Both guns feature Southgate ejectors.
"The Northwood" is engraved on the bottom of the action and the respective serial numbers are engraved on the tangs of the trigger bows.
The 12g is #38186 and has 28” dovetail lump barrels, choked IC (.012”) and IM (.028”) with 1989 Birmingham proofs for 2 ¾" chambers. Fitted with a smooth, concave game rib engraved “The Northwood”, the barrels have the Maker’s name and the “33 Bruton St., London” address. The gun weighs 6 lbs. 4 oz.
The 20g is #38193 and has 27” dovetail lump barrels choked SK (.003”) and IC (.012”) with 1989 Birmingham proof marks for 2 ¾" chambers. Also fitted with a smooth, concave game rib engraved “The Northwood”, the barrels have the Maker’s name and the “33 Bruton St., London” address. The gun weighs 5 lbs. 9.8 oz.
Each gun has a straight hand grip and a thin leather pad along with splinter forends with Anson releases and are nicely checkered with Mullered borders.
Both guns were donated in 1994 to be ed by the American Diabetes Foundation. The guns were donated in the white, with the intentions to finish and stock the guns for the winners of the s. The guns were subsequently stocked with the same dimensions: 14 ½" LOP, with bend of 1 ¼" x 1 ½" and CAST ON 3/16" for a Left Hand shooter.
The guns are cased individually in lightweight canvas cases and each gun remains in 98% overall condition, showing a few handling marks on the stocks, but the metal and barrels remain near perfect.
Sold as a pair.
