The name is internationally famous and linked to the British royal family.....
I'm pretty certain, "˜Holland Esquire' has nothing at all to do with "˜Holland & Holland':
The same may not be true of H&H, although, if the gun your friend saw was 25K, it would have been part of their lower-priced range. The bespoke guns start closer to 80K nowadays.
The gun JLibourel mentioned was a bolt-action rifle--an action type done much better these days by many other brands. The H&H bolt guns I've seen were built on Mauser '98 actions with no real tuning, and, although finished beautifully, couldn't hold a candle to a good US-made custom bolt gun costing less than 1/3 the price. But that's not H&H's metier. You're talking about their sidelock double rifles (costing around 80K), and, in that domain, they're really the gun to get. Purdey makes shotguns and very, very few rifles.
