I understand but for the moment I can't see not differentiating between A&D Action Body & Sidelock, etc. Excluding the WR droplock, how many sidelocks did they peddle? If the peddled few sidelocks, does that prohibit them from being a Best Maker even if they developed the basic platform for British Gun Trade?
Cheers,

The top category consists of four makers, Boss, Woodward, Purdey and H &H.
The next group consists of Westley Richards, Dickson, Rigby, Grant, Beesley, Powell, Atkin, Churchill, Henry, Lancaster, Evans, Watson, Wilkes, Greener, Boswell, Gibbs and Lang.
After that it's the rest of the British trade.
This fits what I was looking for. I was thinking on the same lines, but didn't know if there were others that ranked up there with the top 3 or 4. Buck2

Buck,
Good thing you asked for "companies" and not the absolute best company, as that thread could go on forever!

rse I think the issue is not what they made specifically, but the esteem with which the brand name is currently held. So it's not a discussion directly on best guns or not, but the value the brand has on similar products. Many could make a Best gun, regardless of how we might define it today. But that wasn't the question. At least I didn't read it that way. The question is whose brand name is most highly valued (although the OP didn't phrase it that way). Brand value is an entirely different subject than the quality of product. Over time, the quality of product is just one factor that contributes to brand value.

Did Rocketman's chart address brand value?

"I was wandering which English shotgun companies had the best reputation for making high-end shotguns. Lets say pre-WW2."
All right Canvas-Back, we'll move forward with your interpretation.

Karl It specifically addresses brand value.

Where is Rocketman's chart? I'm "in the market" and would like to see how some things I've been looking at stack up.
