Description:
Holland & Holland “Royal Deluxe” Double Rifle – .500/.465 NE – 24" Barrels – Deep-Relief Scroll – c. 1938 – Pristine Internals

A superb example of Holland & Holland’s Royal Deluxe double rifle in .500/.465 Nitro Express, serial number 35591, completed circa 1938. This best-grade sidelock ejector features 24-inch chopper-lump barrels regulated for the classic .500/.465 NE cartridge, a favorite of professional hunters for its power and manageable recoil.

The action is adorned with full-coverage deep-relief English scroll engraving, bolstered fences, and a scalloped back, retaining crisp definition throughout. Double triggers, automatic safety, and express sights are as originally configured. The stock is exhibition-quality walnut with a hand-rubbed oil finish, 15 5/8" length of pull over a leather-covered pad, drop at comb 1½", drop at heel 2¼", and ¼" cast-off.

Inspection with sidelocks removed reveals pristine internal condition—the hammers, sears, and locks show minimal wear, indicating this rifle has seen very little use. Bores are bright and sharp, action remains tight on face, and ejectors are perfectly timed.

Weight: 10 lbs. approx.
Chambering: .500/.465 NE (480 gr ~2,150 fps)
Serial Number: 35591
Estimated Year of Manufacture: c. 1938 (H&H records can confirm exact date)

A rare opportunity to acquire a between-the-wars Royal Deluxe double rifle, combining exhibition-grade aesthetics with the legendary field performance of the .500/.465. Offered with the option to obtain a factory build-sheet from Holland & Holland for complete provenance.
