I. Hollis & Sons custom Coach Gun

A sweet little, turn of the century, custom 12 gauge coach gun manufactured by I. Hollis & Sons (Birmingham & London) — This is what I think of when I imagine the style of a classic, rabbit ear, double barrel sawed-off scattergun. Numbers matching. The Damascus barrels have been shortened to 18.25” and sport a hand-turned, polished brass "Oblio" front bead." Chambers lengthened to 2.75". Bores are in beautiful shape and are shiny. Gun locks-up tight and triggers are crisp. The gun was completely gone though and the internals were ultrasonically cleaned. The working internals show very little wear. I left the lumber repairs visible because they were just too cool to hide. The butt plate is hand-shaped from a piece of African Wenge wood and attached with polished brass hardware. This old gal shows beautiful character.

LOP is 12.5” and 13.5”. Overall length 34.25”
