I don't know about Spanish Boswells, but I am aware the Canadian Boswells hard a reputation problem. Until not so long ago, I had a fine 1900 vintage Boswell, and became interested because of that gun. Don't remember the problem, just that there was something there. London made Boswells were outstanding guns. The current ownership of Boswell is attempting to regain their once fine reputation. (Chris Batha)
