Hand-made Turkish walnut stock features a red Decelerator recoil pad, steel grip cap with engraved screw and a single forward crossbolt. Holland’s records show this rifle built with a detachable stock so it is most likely it went to J. Roberts & Son for re-stocking at which time it was engraved with their name on the barrel and serial number. The H&H serial number can be found on the bottom of the barrel near the action. Overall this rifle is in very good condition with minor wear and handling marks.
