This is a historic Holland & Holland Hammer Rook Rifle in .22 Rimfire, crafted by Holland & Holland, a legendary British gunmaker founded in 1835 and based in London, known for its exceptional craftsmanship and two royal warrants. The serial number 47118 suggests production in the late 19th century, aligning with the era of the 1883 London Field Rifle Trials, where Holland & Holland won every event, as noted on the firearm and in historical records. Rook rifles, designed for small game and pest control, were lightweight and precise, making this a coveted piece for collectors of fine British firearms.
This example is in good to very good overall condition, featuring a 25" octagonal barrel with a matte top rib, typical of Holland & Holland’s rook rifles. The action and barrel are marked “Holland & Holland, New Bond Street” and “Winners of All the Field Rifle Trials London 1883,” reflecting the firm’s dominance in the 1883 trials under William Froome’s expertise. The pistol-grip walnut stock, with a LOP of 14 1/4", shows heavy abrasions and a chip missing at the toe, indicating significant use, though the metal surfaces retain traces of original finish and rate good to very good. The mechanics are sound, ensuring functionality for this single-shot hammer action, sidelever design based on similar models.
