Holland Royal wanted for trade

As the title states: Holland Royal Wanted.

I have owned only two Royals in my life: a shotgun and a double rifle. Now the desire is here again for another and the time is right for a trade.

Seeking: Holland and Holland Royal double rifle in caliber .500-450, 3 1/4” case. Strongly prefer 26” barrels, ejector (of course), and the standard pattern of Royal engraving. Splinter forend, the extended stop strap, Silver’s anti recoil heel plate, and a weight of 10-10 1/2 pound’s is about right. The pull should fit me at approximately 14 3/4” to fit me. Needless to say the original case with the label and charge card present, and a fair amount of accessories: rod, tips, snap caps, oil bottle, etc. A cordite funnel is a nice plus. A copy of the ledger page is required and hopefully some history can be discovered about this double.

What I have for trade is in the pic below. PM me if we have a deal!

If you throw in a bottle of Purell I have a matched set.

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship

Cal I have what you are looking for, including a set of 375 Flanged Mag barrels by H&H.

Alas, the local grocery store had dunny paper this morning, and meat, but no soap yet. I can take being dirty to hang onto the rifle!

Better luck next time

Cal, would you consider my AR-14 and AR-16 with 10 100 round clips? It is fully semi-auto.

Yes. You are second in line if I can't find the Holland.

I have one that is off face after 100 rounds, but you would have to throw in some Lysol wipes.

Cal,
You might try contacting the Frazier museum in Louisville, KY.
I saw this one similar to your wants last time I was there:

You might be able to get it worked on some to suit your needs.

If they still have it, they might be interested,
but you might have to throw in some Lysol.

Rip ...
