Holland & Holland records?

[old rockape]

We have contacted Holland and Holland some years ago about a Webley WG Model 89 .476 (2013). This was their reply 'Unfortunately with items like this where we retailed them, there were no records kept of the specification or the details as they were simply bought in and retailed."
Hope this is of help

Thanks for a reply which is actually germaine to the question being asked! I was hoping I might find out something about the history of this Fosbery but sounds like probably not! Oh well, it will just remain a mystery, but I will post if I get a reply from them.

This has been my experience with H&H as well. Some of the old firms are great about these types of inquiries - Rigby, Watson Bros, Westley Richards but H&H isn't one of them. i suspect there are records but they don't want to be bothered.
