This is an exquisite Holland & Holland Sidelock Ejector Side-by-Side Shotgun in 12 gauge, crafted by the legendary British gunmaker Holland & Holland in London, England. The serial number 20314 confirms production in 1900, as verified by records indicating completion of a 12-bore Royal Model in that year. Founded in 1835 by Harris Holland, Holland & Holland is renowned for its bespoke firearms, holding two royal warrants and celebrated for innovations like the 1908 detachable lock and 1922 self-opening mechanism. This sidelock ejector, given the 7-pin locks and era, features intricate engravings and superior craftsmanship, designed for discerning sportsmen. The crossover stock, tailored for left-eye dominant shooters, is an exceptionally rare feature, enhancing its collectible value. Its historical significance lies in its embodiment of Holland & Holland’s pinnacle of early 20th-century gunmaking, used for upland game and sporting pursuits.

This example is in very fine condition with professionally refreshed finishes, retaining vibrant blue on the 28" barrels and case colors on the receiver. The bright bores indicate minimal use and excellent care, and the highly figured walnut stock, with a 14 5/8" LOP and checkered butt, shows careful handling. The 7-pin sidelock action, double triggers, and automatic ejectors function flawlessly, ensuring reliability. All markings, including the likely “HOLLAND & HOLLAND” on the rib, are crisp and legible. Crossover shotguns, especially left-eye dominant models, are exceedingly rare, making this a standout piece.
