The Holland & Holland Royal is the London gunmaker's flagship side-by-side shotgun, hand-built since the late nineteenth century to the highest standards of British best-gun craftsmanship, featuring hand-detachable sidelock actions and finely regulated barrels fitted by individual craftsmen. This example, bored in 20 gauge, represents the lighter, more elegant end of the Royal line, favored by hunters seeking a nimble gun for driven game shooting where fast handling matters as much as reliability. Holland & Holland established its reputation among the elite of British gunmaking through royal patronage and a bespoke process in which each Royal gun is built to the individual measurements and preferences of its owner. Manufactured in 1905, this shotgun comes from the golden age of Edwardian British gunmaking, when the Royal model's reputation for quality was firmly established among European sporting circles.
