Me too. I owned a Holland & Holland pre Royal with a Holland patent single trigger, the weird one that you click forward to choose the tight barrel, that was bought as an English gun project, and taught me to never try that again.

I also owned a McNaughton boxlock NE, that was a single digit before the first gun in the record book, a very early steel barreled gun with 29" tubes, straight hand stock and close to 100% engraving. Nice gun. Never gave me any trouble.

Been tempted, but, I need more guns like I need more kids.


Best,
Ted

I love English guns for all the usual reasons, but these days the only one in my safe is this old and faithful servant:

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia

Far-more elegant than it's owner James, thank you! We're just biding our time here.....waiting for Grousmas. About 38 days out, at the moment.
