*HOLLAND & HOLLAND TAKEDOWN MAUSER WITH CASE AND SCOPE.

SN 28008. (ca 1911) Cal. .275 Belted magnum. 26-3/4″ Tapered, round bbl is fitted with sleeved-on oval island base for one standing, one folding leaf express rear sight. Standing leaf is marked for 50 and 200 yards, and folding leaf for 350 yards. Classically shaped Holland & Holland front ramp holds longitudinally dovetailed fine bead. Ramp is fitted with G & H style knurled sight hood. A sling eye is sleeved on. Top of bbl is engraved “Holland & Holland. 98. New Bond Street, London.” Left rear of bbl is stamped with London nitro proofs. Top of breech reinforce is engraved “HOLLAND’S PATENT CARTRIDGE”. (The .275 magnum belted cartridge was H & H’s answer to the very popular .280 Ross. The performance of the H & H cartridge, introduced in 1910, led to the later development (1912) of the .375 H & H, and other belted magnum cartridges, the mainstay of our modern high velocity calibers. The 275 H & H is close to the 7mm Rem mag in performance.) Commercial Mauser standard length action is fitted with a W. J. Jeffery style takedown screw on right side (when loosened it allows bbl to be turned off). Top of receiver ring and bridge are finely stippled. A Griffin & Howe side mount has been installed. Bolt body and extractor have been engine turned. Bolt knob is checkered on top and on flattened bottom portion. SN is on top of handle. A Buehler low scope safety has been fitted. Standard bottom metal is engraved with SN on bow. Lightly marbled, dense European walnut pistol grip stock has two steel mounting plates separating butt and action from forend, and features thin, ribbed horn buttplate, classic right hand cheekpiece, distinctive H & H style checkering at grip and forend, steel grip cap with trap containing spare front sight, horn forend tip, and a silver oval on toe line engraved “J. I. M.” Stith Bear Cub 6 x scope with standard crosshair reticle is in alloy G & H mount. Drop at heel: approx 2-5/8″, drop at comb: approx 1-3/4″. Weight without scope: 8 lbs. 4 oz. LOP: 14-1/4″. Makers leather case with central circular brass medallion is lined in scarlet cloth, and has gold embossed black leather “98 New Bond Street” H & H label on lid, along with charge card numbered to this rifle, as well as information label explaining takedown feature. Case is partitioned for bbl, action, and scope, and contains nickel-plated bore washing funnel, H & H marked horn handled turnscrew, horn striker bottle containing orig front sight cover, round H & H marked oil bottle, 2-pc thin rifle cleaning rod, two scope covers, black morocco wallet with pull through cleaning equipment, a covered compartment holding rags and brushes, and a 1969 ten “New Pence” coin. Overall a great rifle in a great caliber and the ammo for this gun can be ordered from most major suppliers. CONDITION: Excellent, retaining nearly all of exceptional factory quality finishes as most likely renewed by G & H when scope was installed, with only a few light subsequent marks, and abrasions. Checkering is lightly worn, and has not been re-cut. Bore is excellent with sharp rifling throughout. Action is smooth. Scope is excellent, with some slight marks and pings in exterior lacquer. Optics clear. Case leather is still light in color, with some slight spotted discoloration and scuffs, mostly on corners. Straps are new replacements, and are excellent. Orig handle is good. Interior is very fine, cloth with some slight soiling a rubs. H & H leather label is excellent. Paper labels are slightly soiled and foxed. Some partition blocks are altered to fit scope. Accessories are excellent. 4-50384 MGM173 (10,000-15,000) – Lot 3374
