Holland & Holland 12 Gauge Hammer Double Shotgun – Cased

Description:
Offered here is a classic Holland & Holland side-by-side 12 gauge hammer shotgun, representing the renowned London maker's early sporting gun craftsmanship. Featuring traditional external hammers, a finely shaped walnut stock, and elegant understated engraving, this piece embodies the timeless appeal of late 19th-century British gunmaking. This example likely dates to the late 1800s (circa 1870s–1890s) based on the exposed hammer configuration and overall design typical of Holland & Holland's early hammer guns. No serial number is visible, but all visible features are consistent with period production. The shotgun is accompanied by its original fitted Holland & Holland case, lined in classic red baize with maker's trade label intact, further enhancing its collectibility and presentation. The case also reflects the maker's prestigious New Bond Street London address. Condition shows honest vintage wear, with handling marks on the stock and finish consistent with age, while retaining solid mechanical presence and strong visual character. 12 Gauge
