Do to the fact that a lot of the current English firms use the same craftsmen, I think it is a toss up. I would prefer a David McKay Brown personally but certainly any of the other makers would be fine as well. I am not a big Holland fan but that is my opinion. If I were to have a shotgun built, Fabbri would be my first choice hands down. The only problem I have personally with the makers in Europe is the interior finish work on the locks and other details that are rarely seen. The English seem to really go all out in the fit and finish department and that is what you are paying the big money for. Just my opinion.
