Lord Lowell -
It could indeed be the city doctor's gun, but kept only as a decoy for theives. Affordable to be stolen, it satiates the ne'er-do-wells while the minty Becker-bored CE lies in repose in the Chestnut-panelled gunroom out on the Main Line. Easily replaced, the Sterlingworth is the sacrificial anode to the higher-graded Foxes. The good doctors purr like kittens as they shop for replacement decoy guns, duping the hoodlums at every turn.
