Early 19th Century would be prior to 1850. I assume you are talking about early 20th century guns? I would have to put Charles Daly at or near the top of the list. Remington made some nice guns in the 1890s.

I have (and have owned) Fox guns. I like them, but would never agreed that they are "The Finest Gun in the World".
