I have an Elsie, Fox, Ithaca, and would like a Lefever but simply do not find Parkers or Model 21's asthestically pleasing. Something about the Parker hinge-pin bolt that reminds of a large wart. 21 is like having a fat girl friend, not at all svelte.

If qualities such as simplicity, strength, and utilization of space count for anything then the Fox design would qualify it as the best gun in the world.
