Folks try and find another Holland side lever action Royal. They do exist but are extremely rare. A wonderfully elegant vintage gun. Note: We have determined the right barrel has an area of .016 wall thickness about half way down the tube thus the price has been reduced from $14,500 to $9500. The gun just passed London nitro proof in this condition but that's enough to cover having new barrels made if you prefer.
