The Dutch make: Windmills, Delft china, wooden shoes, over-rated beer, and gave us one of the best artists of all time- Johannes Vermeer- love his painting "The Astronomer"--No guns of note- When Hitler's Wehrmacht marched into Holland, the Dutch Army folded like a fart in a Mach 3 windtunnel. Not the case with the Swiss however.

point is, all of the countries i listed above are european and as such have a long history of industrial development and skilled manufacturing...seems odd that they appartantly had/have no sporting gun industry nor culture, when so many of their neighbors did and do...

pictures and descriptions of doubleguns made in any of these countries would be of interest to some of us...

I'm with Ed on this one. It seems to be a reasonable question. Why Belgium and France but not Holland? Is the culture that different? Government? Crappy bird hunting?
I mean Holland has to have plenty of ducks....

Very seldom I find agreement with Ed, but when he asks a question that is legit it brings out some of the dumbest answers I have seen. Sometimes we all need to engage brain before fingers.

Yes, agree with popplecop
I do have a 11.7 Danish rolling block and 43 Dutch Beaumont, 11mm Gras rifle, 41 Swiss centerfire and a Werndl carbine, 7.5 Swiss Revolver and other odd stuff, why no shotguns coming to light.

Have Husqvarna shotgun (Sweden) and had Valmet shotgun (Finland).

Hmmm, room for thought
