Wonko, you probably need to reread (or perhaps read for the first time) Zutz' "The Double Shotgun". A lot of lovers of classic sxs are probably put off by the fact that he was not all that high on the British, nor on most of the classic American sxs except the Model 21.
Speaking from the British side of the Atlantic, I enjoy my copy of "The Double Shotgun", and I'm not in the slightest 'put off' by any lack of cover or support for British products. I find the coverage and support he gives to Darne and Merkel (to mention just two I happen to own) refreshing. These makers are often overlooked by other writers, but make interesting products.
I cannot really comment on any coverage of American products because its an area where we see very few over here - perhaps surprisingly. I have never really understood why, but we see many Italian, Spanish and other European guns, but apart from Winchesters (mainly O/U models from the last 30 years), very few American products.
A Happy and Prosperous New Year to all.
