I'd say for the missing wood at the fences, black electricians tape and beautiful engraving (or are those rust spots) it must be a Holland.

Interesting that they do not say who made it. At least that I saw .

I love that comment that " these things routinely sell for $60,000." That is a little like saying that a Lamborghini routinely sells for $400,000 therefore this beat up 1962 VW Beetle must sell for at least $40,000. What a deal! This guy is delusional.

I especially liked the comment about the really nice engraving, so don't low ball me!

The guy who gave the valuation of $6500 should be asked to explain himself on AR!

I can see him being tarred & feathered ...

He should have to buy it at $6500.

Did anybody else notice that the rifle has no butt stock? It's broken off right at the rear tang..

What an idiot! I was able to find some "fine engravings" however if you look real hard there is a tiny little spot of scroll work under the thumb levers.

No provisions for sights--it's a POS shotgun.
That said, I will pay $6500 Zimbabwe money for it.

Maybe this is shootaway posting from New Hampshire, attempting to raise cash for his next cape buffalo cow hunt.
The url for this says "custom 700 nitro express doubl" ... must be a 12 gauge, from hell or headed there.

Try to tear your eye's away from the abortion that is supposed to be a double rifle and ignore the tracky daks....

Has anyone noticed that our high class seller has his shirt on inside out?
