I am partial to both Blanch and Lancaster. Most of the Blanches I have seen were nicely appointed and well executed. I am particularly fond of of the older back action with their house style vine engraving. They come every so often. Similarly with Lancaster. That odd mutton-chop side lock and engraving is well done. I asked the late Jack Rowe to examine one before he retired and I can remember his comments, innovative but flawed design, that single spring, but well appointed engraving. I bought it and still shoot it, occasionally. There are others but those two I still look for at Holts and other auctions.
