Adam: Accuracy: as good as any H&H double. Quality: sans embellishments but constructed very well. Value: about 1/2 of the same caliber in a Royal. Opinion: Many shy away as they are not the famous Royal and lack engraving. But, hey, they are still a Holland and among the finest out there.

A good friend of mine has one dating from 1930. FANTASTIC rifle! His rifle has 26-inch barrels and it handles and shoots extremely well. I would not hesitate one bit, and actually prefer the starngely old-fashioned looks of the Dominion to that of many other hammerless sidelocks. Also, big things really listen when hit with a .500/465! | |||

Hi Adam, Champlin's has 3 of these currently listed, in various levels of condition. It at least gives you an idea of value. I think that Cal was spot on with his overall assessment of the Dominion. To me, I like the "nostalgia part" of African hunting & taking dangerous game with a 100 yr old English Double (especially an H&H) adds to that. Plus, it would make a fine partner to your Westley Richards 425. Jim | |||

Hello Adam. I agree with all of the above posts. I purchassed one from Dave Cruz at Holland one year ago. Completed in 1936. Shoots very well and fits like a glove. Now if you will just buy one, we can get some BBW #13's made up.  Deo Vindice, Don Sons of Confederate Veterans Black Horse Camp #780 | |||

I talked to George the other day about the 500-450 Dominion for $34,950. I wondered why it had dovetail lumps and I questioned the engraving, which didn't look "period" to me. George stated that, generally, almost every Dominion he has seen had chopper-lump barrels. He also added that this was the only Dominion in 500-450 that he had observed in the Dominion. It is a pretty rifle. Dutch | |||

Probably a pretty good one for the money here: http://www.egun.de/market/item.php?id=3690180 That ends up right about $26K in USD. | |||

For me the Dominion is the real Mckoy..it´s a backaction and looks better than the Royal!. DRSS: HQ Scandinavia. Chapters in Sweden & Norway | |||

Agree. The Dominion is the workhorse of the H&H line. I do like Webley long bars and Westley boxlocks, but the option of buying an H&H detachable back-action sidelock with chopperlump barrels for the same money is a good argument in favor of the Dominion. | |||
