Anyone who compares this to Ed's work is a complete F'n moron. It was re-cased, but, it was done here, was NOT done with a torch, and has colors that would look better on an American gun. Belgian colors are similar to English colors, more muted with emphasis on straw, brown and deeper blues. Whats done is done.

I don't share the opinion that a Webley 700 is a better gun. Not at all. That being said, I'd spend a year or so figuring out which worked better for me before I got rid of either.

How you and your wife arrange your affairs between each other is purely up to the both of you, and someone who makes comment on that is no gentleman.


Best,

"Ed's work??"" work implies, to me anyway, a skilled and caring craftsman- I can think of a lot of phrases to describe "Da Edster" here, but as perhaps the fairer sex might on occasion, frequent these pages of Epostolic "sturm und drang" I will refrain. I would rather take a used but shootable 1926 mfg. BHE 20 bore Paaaarkar quail gun and "deep six" it with a logging chain secured to the trigger guard bow into a nice ripe outhouse with a full tank- and let it stay there submerged in the scheise, than ever turn it over to a torch crazy idiot like Ed- he could foul up a wet dream in a harem or whorehouse without breaking a sweat-
