Been shoveling snow all morning and probably will be most of the afternoon. Strange things run through your mind when your doing that. Isn't it strange that one of the most popular names in British firearms would be named after that country's old enemies. Holland and Holland. Any other strange one's like that?
OK, back to the snow.

It sounded better than Netherlands and Netherlands.

The company was named after two Englishmen. The founder, Harris Holland, and his nephew Henry.

Stay warm!

I got to the N&N when I was shoveling. Just struck me funny. I knew about the brothers Holland, but my flakey mind was drifting around like the snow.
