Description

Exquisite examples, both 1/4 and 1/2 fixed chokes. 28" barrels and 14 3/8" stock.
Comes with makers original leather traveling case and a certificate of the full history of the pair from Holland & Holland.
This unique pair of shotguns were originally ordered by Lieutenant Hugh Middleton of Belway Castle, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The Lieutenant paid the princely sum of £136 and 10 shillings for this pair of guns when he ordered them on 23rd September 1909.
The next record we have of the pair of guns was when they were purchased back by Holland & Holland back in 1969 and they were then sold to dealer in Switzerland by the name of Ernest Mayor. The records confirm at this stage that the guns had 28" barrels with 1/4 and 1/2 choke which would appear to indicate that the guns were re-barrelled at this stage.
