Bartlett,

I acknowledge what you have said and it is true. Guns are made of all different finishes, engraving, fit/finish, etc. and they should be graded accordingly. My point is that sometimes what we think as a best finish is not over and above what many of the 'provincial' gunmakers achieved. Often they provided the guns in white for who we consider to have produced the 'best ' guns. It is not uncommon to see a 'provincial' gun that equals a 'best' gun in every way but is disregarded without the high grade name behind it. And should I complain? That is the sheep in wolf's clothes that can be purchased at a modest price.
