Here is a quote from AYA's website about their flagship model, the #1 sidelock....

"The AYA Nš 1 has been the flagship of the AYA line since its introduction in the late 1950īs. Modeled closely on the classic Holland & Holland-style sidelock, the Nš 1 has every hallmark of the traditional English double: Purdey-type double underlugs, chopper-lump barrels, detachable locks, articulated front trigger, and optional self-opener are key features."

Need I say more?
