John,

Ernie Stallman of Badger Barrels was instrumental in getting Holland and Holland to start building their Paradox Guns again. And the first discussions before Holland revived the idea took place at a BGRC meet in Australia some years ago. The AUstralian influence is very clear though the bulk of recent Paradox guns have been sold in the USA.

I have word from the Internet Gun Club that H&H are working on offering a Damascus Barreled Paradox gun as an option. That would indeed be heaven! They also have Damascus barreled shotguns coming shortly. With companies as diverse as Brno and Flodman making Damascus barreled guns it was a question of time before H&H started making them as well for their super premium clients.

Fabarms make a strange beast with one Paradox barrel and one smooth on a SxS shotgun model though I have no idea why they don't bother with going the whole hog and building a full Paradox gun.

Cheers!
