Steve,

The various Rizzini companies came about when the Rizzini family business broke up and different members went their individual ways. The same thing happened to another old Italian family, Zanotti. And Caesar Guerini is another brand owned by a Rizzini family member. While Fratelli Rizzini build very expensive guns, other members of the family have concentrated on budget guns so that there is no competition amongst the various divisions - I guess we could call this an amicable split.

The old Charles Hellis company had a similar family split which saw the Charles Hellis and Hellis-Rosson businesses. This, however, was a hostile one. I think both names are now owned by the same investing group which has nothing to do with the original founding family. Beautiful guns, to be sure!

Tinker,

My friend, I am looking forward to our having cocktails whenever we meet.
