The term Best was used as a sales "gimmick" to sell guns. Mostly used on British sidelocks, some companies made boxlocks of equal or more cost to the consumer. Here are two guns that were the best each company had to offer at the turn of the century, both boxlocks, equal or exceeding their best sidelock. The first is a Cashmore Nitro at 70 G, and the second a Greener Monarch Imperial at about the same price. Two photos of each.
