Binko,
I would second JBG; get the Holland ledger page and Dallas's book on Hollands. Many times the ledger page makes no reference to whether the barrels are damascus or not. When Holland does reference the barrel material, damascus is described as "best barrels"
JoE,
There is no question that this is a Holland Royal. It is also no secret that Holland bought in their guns prior to 1900, many of these made by Scott. The fit finish and regulation of these guns were impeccable and Holland built their reputation on them. All of them if they have been used have a few warts on them. I tend to see the glass as half full.
