Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Revised and Updated Second Edition, 440 pages. EDITION THAT WAS CREATED FOR HOLLAND & HOLLAND. THE DUST JACKET IS GREEN AND THE SILK MARKING RIBBON IS GREEN WITH "HOLLAND & HOLLAND, LONDON" EMBOSSED ON IT. Huge volume measuring 10.25" x 12.5". Hundreds of illustrations, many in full color. In May 1885, Holland & Holland advertised their new trade mark, 'The Royal' - intended to apply to their best guns and rifles only. 'Royal" guns and rifles have been in production since that date, the choice of the name symbolizing the excellence of the firm's output. And yet, gunmaking played no part in the early history of Holland & Holland. The founder of the firm, Harris Holland was a musician and entrepreneur with an interest in live pigeon shooting. Turning his inteerest into a business venture, he began to retail guns in the 1830s. His nephew, Henry Holland, joined the business in 1860 and made an outstanding contribution to the field of gunmaking with 47 patents to his name. Several of these inventions are still in use today - the 1883 Royal hammerless action, the 1904 belted rimless cartridge case, and the 1922 self-opening mechanism. In 1876 the uncle and the nephew created a partnership and Holland & Holland was born. By this time rifle making had become the specialty of the firm, their prowess at this obvious to all after winning every class in the The Field rifle trials of 1883. The 20th Century saw the firm's tradition of innovation and experiment continue. Henry Holland's son, Jack Holland, a decorated officer of World War One ran the firm in the difficultyears pre and post World War Two. Following on from his death in 1957, the Holland family interest in the business declined and from the early 1960s, new owners in a fresh approach, continued to expand, research and produce very high quality guns and rifles revered throughout the world. Several appendices will be of great interest to entusiasts and owners. All 51 patents are described, the dating of Holland serial numbers is given from 1855 to the present day, all the trade labels are illustrated and the rifle cartridges developed and introduced are examined in detail. This new second edition brings the history of the firm right up to date. A considerable number of new photos have been included and new appendices added. This book is written with full approval and co-operation of Holland & Holland and is the authoritative history of the company Excellent! A beautiful unread copy still in the publisher's shrink wrap.…
