I once went in a dealers shop who knew I liked doubles. He spotted me coming in & said I've got one you need to look at. He had a boxlock marked Holland Holland. I told him there should be an And between the two Hollands, so I didn't believe it was original, besides being a boxlock. He said well they built some lower grade boxlocks, this wasn't a Best, but was still H&H. I then took it apart & it was covered with Belgian proof marks, so told him I'd pass. He would never admit it was not a genuine H&H.

I kinda felt sure he knew it but didn't think I would & thought he'd put one over on me.
