MC thanks for the response. Are you talking about the "original" Birmingham guns or the later guns made in Italy? I have never handled either and there is a significant price difference between them as far as I can tell. I will be at the Vintager shoot in a few days and I am sure I can find one to at least look at. I liked the Oxford as it has side plates to give it a little more elegant look on a box lock and I am familiar with the Gamba Daytona competition guns but otherwise I have no strong opinions yet.
Thanks
