The trade in Italy took a HUGE hit with the last economic downturn and is on life support at best, save Beretta. Most of the smaller makers and some decent sized ones like A&S are no longer in business. I think the Italians are wonderful at bolino style engraving and target guns. Game guns? Not so much. They try but I believe the term London Best continues to this day for a reason. I'll keep my 20's vintage H&H self-opener thanks.
