5 - 1/2" baarrel with cathedral rib, engraved "I. HOLLIS & SONS. LONDON". Arrows on barrel in line with bore and on sidescrew. Classic top break action with double bolts; unmarked chambering but diameter of .450 suggests .450 Adams. 1-piece checkered grip, pommel with rotatable lanyard loop. CONDITION: Overall good. Retains most, approximately 55-60%, of the English high polish bluing with several areas of oxidation throughout, some of which are light and others deeper. Cylinder en suite, patination deeper than balance. Grips are very good, with some abraded heads and handling marks. Rotatable lanyard loop en suite with frame. Mechanically fine, bore is very good with strong rifling, frosting at edges of lands. EMW
