Nice 458 double on Griffine&Howe
I've never really heard of this maker, but it looks pretty nice. Does anyone have any familiarity with these?

G&H are an old school gunmaker from New York. A whole lot of history. Howe was the gunsmith that worked with Col Whelen and I think he built the first one, when he was at Springfield Armory.

They make nice guns, kinda the American version of H&H. I don't like some of there stuff, and some of the early guns were Springfields which I don't think of as high dollar. Their side mounts are very good mounts.

Definately quality.

Karl Heinz Ritterbusch is a German gunmaker who makes absolutely top quality product such as take down .500 Jeff or .505 Gibbs with an extra deep mag box. I do not know if he made the action for this double himself, or if he purchased the action then built the gun.
