The barrels of each gun are fitted to a beautifully brushed bright
assisted-opening sidelock action which has been beautifully adorned
with near full coverage floral scroll engraving surrounding “HOLLAND &
HOLLAND” signature banners on the tail of the locks as well as a trio of
finely engraved game scenes before spilling off of the action onto the
toplever which bears a gold “1” or “2”, the trigger guard, and both tangs,
the bottom of which has the serial number inlaid in gold. On gun “1” the
scenes depict a yellow Labrador standing in front of a fence in a field
on the left, the right has the yellow lab running through a field, and the
underside has busts of the yellow lab along with a black lab companion.
Gun “2” has a black lab standing in a field on the left, the black lab laying
in the grass on the right, and busts of the black and yellow lab together
on the underside. All four lockplates are signed “P. COGGAN” at the
bottom beneath the scene for world renowned English Master Engraver
Phil Coggan who graced these fine guns with his work.
