H&W are still working and in business.They are getting on a bit and their waiting list is very long so its a bit of a gamble as to whether you would ever get your new gun or rifle if you ordered it now.
Hopefully they will carry on for a while longer as it will be a sad day when the company closes.Although the company was for sale recently they would only sell it to somebody they felt worthy to carry the business on making the very best of guns and rifles.It didn't sell and I find it hard to believe it ever will.
