ChrisAsh Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Think a bit optimistic for a ******** screwdriver with a etched name I thought gunsmiths always made their own turnscrew as and when needed as part of their skills, but guess a major maker like H&H would use standard size screws so would buy in to save workers time Same as Paintings a very ordinary painting with a good artist name can be worth millions and a great painting by a unknown artist only worth a few hundred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 It would be made for H&H to sell not for them to use . You can still buy H&H branded turnscrews from them. http://hollandandholland.com/product/nylon-turn-screws/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
