"Royal
Sidelock Hammerless Ejector"
2 ½"
game guns, serial No. 25100 & 25101 'Circa 1907".

game scene engraving.
This, combined with the rare side safety make these the best pair of game
guns in Australia.
Built for driven game, both barrels are 28" choked imp cyl to both barrels,
a letter from Holland & Holland confirms original dimensions.
Both barrels are in proof at .736.
No. 1 barrel set has excellent bores except for a small ripple 6" from
muzzle on the right-hand barrel (very minor).
No. 2 barrel set is in 90% condition. Some very minor pits near the
muzzle, barrel also has some very slight movement of front hinge pin.
Taking into consideration the age of these 2 guns, these very minor blemishes
are insignificant in regards to the overall condition of both guns.
