Holland and Holland Factory Craftsmanship

Yes amazing craftsmanship both in metal and wood work. The accompanying music was very appropriate, I would almost expect those beautiful shotguns would emit a violin sound when handled as well!
 
I've never felt as unworthy of all my tools as I do right now.

That was simply beautiful.

Thanks.
 
The price is not for the faint of heart!

Wow. Those are models Prince Charles and Prince Andrew would go fox hunting with.

Well...maybe not Andrew. He's a tad preoccupied these days.
 
These are well-made, beautiful pieces, but just like a Rolex isn't a watch (their representation), these aren't guns. These are art pieces that function as guns. - I'm not putting them down - they are masterful works of art, worthy of their creators and the price they warrant.
 
Yup. A fine firearm has the precision of an ultra-high end watch; intricate, beautiful engraving in solid steel, jaw-dropping woodwork; and--as if all that isn't enough--is a supremely functional weapon.

BTW, if you want to start a fight, go to a US-based gun forum and mention that you think English guns are the best! Vice versa works too!!
