H&H 465/500 in Atlanta

Paolo9,5x73Back-action SL is tour de force for large caliber elephant gun.

The thing has three good things going for it: lock type, H&H name and H&H caliber. It's location is hardly surprising, since Atlanta is Manhattan Island of the South with plenty of "Moneybags".
PS. I would round off that pad and stretch pigskin over it.

Frank BellerThat appears to be one fine rifle. It's been on GunBroker for a while now (not the first attempt). What's a good going price for a piece like that ?

Paolo9,5x73Thanks Peter. I hit bid history and log on box came up. I feel like

Gee, a Bhm BL on W&S action in very good shape costs about 15,0000USD now, so how do they expect to get that one for $19,000?

SteveLooks like our own Judge placed a couple of bids on it. He's not the top bidder at this time.

Paolo9,5x73The Dominion oozes H&H.

The 'Royal' could be mistaken for: Arrieta, Vic Sarasqueta, something Flemish, or Italian from a distance.

This thing is precious!
You also get some components, Mullholland Bros. case, and lovely sling made of what appears to be buff hide.

Paolo9,5x73Reserve not met at 28,5K? Craaazy! Did Lewis and Drake move to Norcross, Ga? Probably not, that place would have it listed at 50++K.
Sellers says reserve wasn't close either..my, my, my. It is nice, just not THAT nice.

Paolo9,5x73It's not my gun, but 28,500 is darn good bid for that one. Gee, why sell family hairloom anyway. It's practically a relic, so gun control will not banish it unless there is a total ban of firearms in USA. Well, perhaps there are some 'Royals' stashed in that villa, who knows.
