This is all I have on it for info.
12 ga, 30”, Cyl/Cyl, marked on the barrel flats, Holland and Holland, "Royal Side Lock Ejector", with the very durable Rigby, [Leg of Mutton], shaped locks vintage 1892. The Holland action was colored by Doug Turnbull, Barrel browned by Buck Hamlin. Wood work and Leather pad by David Yale. This is a 1892 London best gun used at the "Balmoral Estate", in Scotland, during Queen Victoria’s reign, and it sports a "Royal Warrant Crest" on the echelon. It happens to be the second gun of a pair, so it has the # 2 in gold, on the barrels and the receiver.
I didn't get a ledger sheet on it, because that probably stayed with the #1 gun, as did the case. I did get a "Henry Atkin" makers case that says "from Purdey's", it is oak and leather, and of the late 1800's. When I knew I had the gun coming, I ordered a leather, Holland & Holland logo plaque for the case.
Now you know all I know about it, if anyone has any thing to add, please do so.
thanks
