tomo577HOLLAND & HOLLAND CLOSES PARIS GUNROOM
Without fanfare messrs Holland closed their Paris operation.
Seems there was no discount / closeout pricing to be had.
it's always a shame to see a big name withdraw....

MacifejThe socialists couldn't protect the store from barbarian rioters any longer? No one in Paris could afford the product? Sarkozy will be handing out new French made doubles to everyone for the coming invasion of Luxombourg?

bobby van der PuttenVery sad indeed...
All the clothes and accessories were discounted at 50%
The guns and ammo went back to London
(Sarkozy defeated the socialists for at least another 5 years)

MacifejBobby,
Is the Parc Victor Hugo still standing. Joel Rubichon still have the place next door?

walksfarI'd gladly set them up on about 100 acres of my property for free. Throw in a .577, and I'd add another 100 acres.
They could open H@H LAND and charge admission.

Joël Robuchon's best restaurant is now called " La Table de Joël Robuchon", and it is located 16 avenue Bugeaud, and it is about 5 blocks away.

I believe it. There are lots of VERY nice guns being sold there now.

bobby van der PuttenI do not quite agree with you Saeed, the Wertheimers have done more for H&H than any former shareholder....

mr rigbyIn Russia there is over 500 000 rich hunters that are one of the big new markets for gun and ammo makers, so perhaps thats why H&H,and others are setting up shop there.
Sad they closed the store in Frnace, what will be the next.

I would imagine that he Businessmen from the UAE have better sense than to purchase a fully custom gun company of which it is obvious few if any profits are being made.

That's a hell of a deal! After the discount, the clothing, and accessories only cost 5 times what they were really worth!

ftondrusFOR 500N in australia.
a 10% discount on a new royal wouldn't be much. but say 30% would move many !
i have a royal already, plus two of their very fine bolt rifles.... but another royal would be nice to have.
you don't happen to have one you are selling do you ?

500NSorry, I was talking Aust $.
Yes, I know they can be found cheaper,
I passed up 5 in the US before I bought mine.
Reason - they were all a heap of shit, reproofed,
rechambered, etc etc.
