Description:

The company was founded by Harris Holland (1806-1896) in the year 1835. Although accounts of his background are somewhat sketchy we know that Harris had a successful wholesale tobacco business in London. He was also a keen and enthusiastic shot and was regularly seen winning prestigious pigeon shoots at London clubs as well as leasing a grouse moor in Yorkshire.

Being a very accomplished shot, his friends convinced him to start his own gun business. It is not known when Harris started his own manufacturing operation, but it is estimated to be in the 1850s.

Not having children of his own Harris took on his nephew, Henry Holland (1845-1930) as an apprentice in 1861 and made him a partner in 1867. Nine years later Harris retired and the name of the company changed to Holland & Holland.
