Transport yourself to the golden age of British gunmaking with this Holland & Holland Rotary Underlever Hammer Side-by-Side Shotgun in 12 Gauge, crafted circa 1865 by Holland & Holland in London, England, a legendary maker of bespoke sporting arms. The serial number 1298 (NO4473) dates to the firm's early years under Harris Holland, when rotary underlever hammer guns were favored for their reliability in the field. This C&R-eligible antique, with 30" barrels and a featherlight 6 lbs 14 oz build, is a collector's prize for upland enthusiasts or historians.

This example is in very good overall condition, with bright bores and very good barrel finish for reliable black powder performance. The true cylinder chokes are suited for close-range targets (10–20 yards), ideal for driven game like partridge or woodcock. The re-engraved rib, marked "H. HOLLAND, 98 NEW BOND STREET, LONDON," adds historical authenticity. The dove grey locks and action, with carved serpentine fences, border, and partial scroll engraving, showcase H&H's artistry. The stocks are moderately worn but structurally sound, with a 14 1/2" LOP including steel buttplate. The rotary underlever, non-rebounding locks, and double triggers operate finely, with a tight lockup reflecting H&H’s unmatched craftsmanship.
