Aye. But there are millions of rifles with such insignia on them [0] and they were exported all over the world. If you asked some guy in the corners of afghanistan what Brno was, in the off chance they knew the word, they would probably think it was a brand of rifle.

I'd be curious if there is anything more iconic in recent history from brno that covers the ends of the earth than brno firearms.

It's the birth place of Adam Ondra, arguably the best climber of all time and also his preferred climbing region. He does cover the ends of the earth by smashing the hardest climbs in the world everywhere :D

Had no idea about Brno firearms but have seen Starobrno beers in quite a lot of countries I've been to, in and out of Europe.

Villa Tugendhat by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe is pretty iconic, probably in different circles though.
