It sounds to me like, somewhat akin to many custom built items of today-if something met your requirements and quality standards why build it yourself. I don't think this belittles the item in any way, nor does it bother me, it comes down to economics on both sellers & buyers part and it always will. Unless it is a high tier gun the London Addy may not mean much, something like British names on "jabc's" but altered slightly, just a sales ploy. Another example would be selling through an agent with a London address, this ruse might not work on one's home turf but guns that went overseas most buyers would not know the difference or care, I have a good example of this in my gun cabinet. Thank you all for your comments thus far. --- John Can.
