I had forgotten Beretta purchased Holland & Holland.
Any news since? How is it caring? Quality maintained or increasing? Image maintained or collapsed? Sales roaring, new models? Or the old tiny sales volumes?
One thing a quality prestige brand like Holland & Holland needs within a corporate group is a go getter innovative brand leader/CEO. Like Marc Newton has been at Rigby in the Mauser/L & O Group.
Must have a look at H&H again. Haven't heard anything recently?

During a recent trip to Germany I was told that Beretta had acquired Chapuis, RWS and Norma as well. They seem to be assembling brand names and factories by the score.

Idiot be surprised as Beretta seems to be buying gun companies and associated supplies such as ammunition.
Some scope companies are part of multi optic manufacturers not just binoculars, scopes, spotting scopes. But also all sorts of other optics needs.
