*HOLLAND & HOLLAND CAVALIER GAME GUN WITH CASE. SN 50095. Cal. 20 ga. 2-3/4″ Chambers.

Bbl flats are stamped with Birmingham nitro proofs, bottoms of bbls with SNs. Nicely filed, case hardened, scallop-backed, small boxlock action features automatic safety (SAFE inlaid in gold), double triggers, and the previously mentioned removable hinge pin. Action is engraved with about 30% coverage well cut scroll. “HOLLAND & HOLLAND” is inlaid in gold on each side of action. Top lever, floorplate, trigger plate and single beaded trigger guard are blued and scroll engraved. “THE CAVALIER” is inlaid in gold on floorplate. SN is on trigger guard grip. Striking, beautifully marbled, and nicely figured Circassian walnut straight grip buttstock measures 15-1/2″ over checkered wood butt, and features classic Holland diamond hand, drop points, and standard point pattern checkering with mullered borders. Gold oval on toe line is engraved “R. E. P.” Matching splinter ejector forend has Anson release. Bore diameter: left -.612, right -.612. Bore restrictions: left -.005, right -.004. Wall thickness: left -.034, right -.035. Drop at heel: 2″, drop at comb: 1-3/8″. Weight: 5 lbs. 14 oz, LOP 15-1/2″. Makers green canvas case with stitched leather corners and leather initial plate on top is embossed “R. E. P.”, lined with dark green baize with gold embossed black leather H & H label in lid. Case contains 2-pc walnut and brass cleaning rod with brush, mop, and jag, pair of snap caps in box, along with can of New Gun Care Cleaner and box of patches. CONDITION: Excellent, essentially as new, with scant evidence of having ever been fired after proof, with only a few very minor marks overall. Case is also near new.
