Yet I have read many times that the "Period between the wars" is when the greatest guns were made in Britain. Sort of expressed by the idea that these guns had all the latest refinements but were still essentially hand made. I believe that metallurgy advanced a great deal in the first 1/4 of the 20th Century as well. meaning that materials would likely have been better during this period.
So the 1930 Atkin gun I have on the way is not as good as an Atkin gun made in, say, 1905? Hard to believe.
"...in 1947 Atkin built a lightweight model version, much admired by Gough Thomas for its handling, reliability and exceptional quality. Gough himself taking delivery of one of these models." I specifying this gun in 1947 G T Garwood insisted that it should., in every way, be the equal in materials and workmanship as those guns made 'pre-war'. I think he was referring to WWII.
Just sayin'
