Holland & Holland.577 NE ‘Royal’ Double Rifle
SOLD
An unusual lightweight example of Holland & Holland’s ‘Royal’ double rifle, No. 35080 was ordered on 20 September 1945 for H.H. The Maharaja of Mysore as No. 1 of a pair. The original specification called for 25-inch barrels with tubes made from ‘Special Light Steel’. Weighing just 12lb 4oz, it combines a compact and slender feel to such a substantial chambering.
Built around Holland & Holland’s bolstered back-action sidelock, the action retains its traditional colour case-hardening and Royal scroll engraving. A standing rear sight regulated at 50 yards is complemented by folding leaves for 100 and 150 yards.
Recently released from a private collection, this distinctive royal commission is offered for sale through Westley Richards, without its original companion.
