The Holland & Holland Royal double rifle is the most copied double rifle in the world, with very good reason, it is a beautiful looking and handling rifle, a rifle that set the standard many years ago as the very finest English sidelock express rifle available. It seems if anyone embarks on making an express rifle nowadays or even over the past 30 years the Holland Royal is the rifle they try to emulate, none in my opinion have ever succeeded.
The shape, weight and every little detail can be copied and made with superb craftsmanship but without the magic name they are but that, good copies, like a Chinese Rolex, just not the same as the real deal.
So here is a selection of Vintage Holland Royal and Royal Deluxe double rifles from our collection which help keep us focused as we produce our own very unique model of Express rifle, The Hand Detachable Lock or Droplock.

We are all entitled to our opinions and if you read the text I mention England as the subject in this case, not Italy or other European countries.

lets tell the truth here,the finest sidelock and Box Lock double rifles and shotguns are made in Germany austria and Brescia italy now days.
this are made by master craftsman who have been making finest guns for the last 65 years now,this guns are made With finest best quality steel,engraved by the finest engravers in the world,are most functional and most accurte guns and rifle ever made.i mean no offense to English maker,but the only master from Britain for the last 50 years pluss,have been mr.peter pv nelson,whos guns where as good as any ever made.nowdays there is no English master gunmaker.thats the truth.

Holland and Holland amongst other great names, still hand make and fit some of the most beautiful, accurate and balanced express rifles today. History has proved their worth. Yes the Italians and Germans do and can compete but they lack the poise and lineage of an English/London gun.
Would that I could.
