I am sure Mr. MacNaughton[sp?] and Mr. Brown feel pain, too. No intercepting sears means not Best ? Does that mean there were no Best hammerguns ?

As to comparing guns to a 1920 Boss for Best status, some Boss guns do not compare to other Boss guns in fit and finish. They weren't stocked to the fences until ca. 1900 or a bit later. Maybe they should change their motto to Best Guns only Sometimes.
