It's the number 2 of a pair with original gun case, very nice. How can he find the number one? I mean to remember a possibility once read, but don't know any more where.... Any suggestions? Thanks, Gunwolf How it looks like: http://www.hunting-heritage.com

The gun case was for a hammerless No. 2 or No. 3 and would be close to 1906. Serial numbers 17,255-18,000 were for Guns and Rifles 1894-1905. Holland serial numbers can be confusing as blocks of numbers were allotted to various gun and rifle styles. Your gun appears to be from the later 1890s when , in my opinion, as Joe says their engraving was very very good. Last edited by Daryl Hallquist; 10/07/13 06:07 PM. http://www.bakercollectors.com/
