IMO only, the gun is Belgium and the barrels are spurious. According to Greener and Walsh this was quite a problem for the English as lots of guns were totally faked and dumped in England and elsewhere to unsuspecting buyers who were impressed with the name and ignored the rest of the gun. The engraving is second class. Also, as mentioned in a very early post, the crowns with the proof marks just look suspicious. Have never seen them that sharp, nor have I seen the little lines radiating out from the edges of the crowns. But I am very open to other opinions.

I once had a dealer try to sell me a Holland Holland Boxlock.I first told him simply that's not the real thing. He assured me it was, said you know they made some lower priced boxlocks as well as their higher priced Sidelocks. I then just said this isn't one of them, it doesn't have the and in their name. I then removed the forend & took off the barrels & turned the bottom facing him said, they didn't send their guns to Belgium for proofing either. It was the best guns shop in my area so I continued going there, he never again though treated me as if I didn't know much about Doubles.
