Holland and Holland Info
« on: June 01, 2004, 11:16:49 AM »
Just received a side by side double rifle in 303 british.Trying to find out anything about  H&H.The only thing I found out is  a side by side hammer underlever double rifle( if I'm correct).Like to know if there are any web sites on the Holand and Holland's. Model type and date of manufacture would be great.

I suspect the only info you will find on Holland and Holland is from classic gun and antique gun dealers listing their goods from estate sales.  Try a generic search for "holland and holland double guns".

H&H was famous for generations of the "Best Quality" English classic custom rifles and shotguns (late 1800's through the first half of the 20th century.

If you plan to fire that H&H .303 double rifle, please be advised that it was "regulated" to shoot point of aim at only one distance and with only one bullet weight and load.  Shoot anything else in it and you will problably find that neither barrel will hit point of aim.
