A special gun came in for restoration and I thought some of you might enjoy seeing it. Single square bridge Oberndorf magnum action, letters as a extra finish gun from Holland. The story I heard was that it was owned by a wealthy family in the North East and Stored in an attic for years where rodents had urinated on it. I believe it, it was deeply pitted to say the least. I struck out what I could and the remainder was micro welded, then the engraving re-cut, rust blued finish.

Steve,
That is impressive metal restoration. I love the lines and geometry of the stock. Thanks for sharing it with us.

That is pretty amazing. The microwelding and rebluing on the barrel and sling band looks perfect. I hope the owner really enjoys using this rifle. That is incredibly nice work.

Urinating on a Holland and Holland should be a "hanging offense", if not "drawing and quartering".

It turned out very nice.

Well done Steve!

Turned out fantastic. Looks even better in person. Pictures just does not do it justice.

I'm delighted that you are pleased with the work. A truly wonderful rifle, enjoy it!

There is something extra special about a British magazine rifle -that has been returned to its
former state of the 1920s or earlier.
John Taylor would gladly have taken delivery on this rifle.

I shot the rifle this week. Shoots as nice as it looks. I took along a sister rifle a 275 H&H magnum. We are fortunate to have companies like CH4D and Hawk bullet that still support the reloading dies and bullets to allow us to manufacture discontinued ammunition.
