Hello all



I have an original leather case from a 1910 Holland & Holland (16gauge Paradox hammerless)



​Leather case is in very good condition although one strap is missing and the other one has a missing end. I will make a replica strap, and repair the original one making an extension and giving it some patina to match the original.



Inside the case I have several original accessories, but there are some empty boxes, and I don't know what I am missing.



Currently I have

-Original oil bottle, with H&H stamp

-Original pair of 16 gauge strikers, with H&H stamps

-Original pair of screwdrivers, with H&H stamps



Bellow the barrel there is a cleaning rod which I doubt it is original, as it has no marks. It is fully metal with a rounded handle (sorry no photos here). Maybe someone could post photos of an original cleaning rod , with I suppose should be in nice wood



Also, maybe someone may have information in how an original case should look like with all its original accessories and their position in the case



BTH, the original stock was short, and when they fit a new one they made it longer, and it wont fit in the case as in the right hand side, there was a section with a lid. That section/box has been dismantled carefully so the gun can fit, but my plan is to shorten the stock as per the original,, and in case I need it to be more longer, I would fit a glove rubber extension, do the compartment/box with the lid will be fitted again.



Best regards

Look in Roger Lake's Paradox book - lots of great pictures of cased Paradoxes.

thanks for the advice. I am waiting the book to arrive.

Anyway, i am sure people here will have more comments and information to share

These are some reloading tools for a paradox. Unfortunately they are for a 12 gauge and not the 16. Tools for the 16 gauge will be very difficult to find.
