Ah, almost all continental guns are based on English game guns, the exception being guns coming from Germany or Austria. The British Game Gun IS THE GUN that other makers in europe tried to emulate.

As to driven shoots, during the Golden Age of shotgunning in England, 30 years prior to the Great War, they made the current shoots in Spain look like an outing with your kid hunting rabbits. During this period the wealthy, Royals or Landed didn't pay the taxes that they do now. Thus they had the money to spend on raising birds and shooting them.

It appears that you have painted yourself into a corner.
