Holland & Holland, founded in London in 1835 by Harris Holland, is one of the most prestigious British gunmakers. Initially focusing on high-quality hunting and sporting firearms, the company gained prominence with innovations like the Paradox gun, which combined rifling and smoothbore technology. In 1883, Henry Holland, Harris’s nephew, joined the business, further advancing its reputation with bespoke craftsmanship and luxury designs.
