One perspective might be that the Brits still make the best English game guns, but the Italians have taken the double-gun to another level. Regardless of your tastes, it would seem hard to argue that the engraving and technological innovations used to produce guns like the Bertuzzi Gullwing or the F'lli Rizzini R1E aren't more advanced than the traditional London best guns, regardless of price.

Rizzini

I had an opportunity to handle a Hartmann & Weiss 28 ga OU last year and it is beyond my limited imagination to figure out how you could make anything more beautiful than that gun - it was exquisite.

That said, there is something very beguiling about the Dickson Round Action . . . .

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
