Description:
Up for sale is a very rare and early “Best Quality” .375 Holland & Holland receiver takedown Mauser rifle. This rifle is very rare in that it is an early Pre-WWI (circa 1913-1914) Holland & Holland rifle built on a Magnum Square Bridge Action. It is quite rare and desirable to find these on the square bridge action. This rifle features a 24” barrel with sling eye on the barrel. It has gold bead front sight and matted quarter rib containing two folding leaf express sights with platinum lines set for 50/200 and 300 yards respectively. The barrel is marked with cordite proofs for 300 gr max bullet and 56 grains cordite (.375 H&H Magnum) and is engraved “Holland & Holland, 98 New Bond Street, London”. Just forward of the front receiver ring, it is engraved “Holland’s Patent Cartridge” and “.375 Magnum”. The magnum bottom metal features a hinged floorplate with release inside the trigger guard. The SN, 28195, is engraved on the floorplate as well at “195” on the bolt handle. The Mauser SN is 55717 (circa 1912) with numbers matching throughout. Being an early “Best Quality” rifle, this one features hand engraved screw heads and case colored engraved trap door grip cap. The square bridge Mauser action features hand stippled and border engraved front ring and rear bridge. The stock featured nicely figured wood grain with cheekpiece and buffalo horn forend tip finished in the beautiful Holland & Holland red English oil finish.
The rifle weighs 8.5 lbs and has a LOP of 13-3/4” to the end of the leather covered pad.
The condition of this rifle is superb overall. All markings are crisp and the wood is beautiful save for a small hairline crack under the right side of the bolt handle that doesn’t detract from the rifle overall.
The cost of actual shipping to your FFL will be added to the pruchase price. Please call or email with any questions or to purchase this rifle. Thank you for looking.
