The Spanish were copying the iconic Holland and Holland, and from across the room they look similar. They feel alike too. Quite light. Sometimes when I'm hunting someone asks, "Hey what kinda gun ya got there?" I look at the lock and say, "It's some sort of English maker. Let's see here.....ah, here it is, it says Holland and Holland." Big laugh. The gun cost me $450, but I had to put a few hundred in the barrel work. Had them blacked too. I like the gun. Yeah, it's my Holland and Holland wanna be!
