Known as the "Holland Triplets"-three consecutively numbered, deluxe, cased Holland & Holland double rifles in .375 H&H Magnum, 300 H&H Magnum, & 7mm Magnum-each feature delicate English scroll engraving, gold inlays, and come with their own spare set of sidelocks that are also all hand engraved and numbered to match the originals.rock_island_special
