A preowned, true pair of cased Holland & Holland Royal side by side 12 bore assisted-opening ejector guns with 28” plain game rib barrels. The guns are choked skeet and improved cylinder. 14 5/8” length of pull over brown leather covered pads.

Straight English stocks, double triggers on square bar actions, auto-safety, hand detachable locks, single front bead, drop points, rolled edge trigger guard, gold inlaid “SAFE” ahead of a small button style safety catch, gold inlaid serial number on the bottom strap, gold inlaid “1” and “2” on the barrels, top lever, and forend iron, gold-lined cocking indicators, vacant gold oval, maker’s name on banners on both sides, the “Royal” model designation engraved on the undersides, and an Anson push button forend release. The guns were proofed in London in 1975 with 2 3/4" chambers.

Engraved with Holland’s Royal scroll. Silver finish action and furniture. Well figured walnut stocks with excellent checkering. Scratches and wear on stocks and forends consistent with field use. Excellent bores and very good bluing on the barrels other than some silvering at the muzzles which is consistent with use of gun slips and some wear/silvering where the forend wood meet the barrels. Top levers slightly left of center on both guns. Gun 1 is slightly off face (right barrel only) while gun 2 is on face. Ejectors are in time on both guns.
