500

I apologize for the confusion but that is what I meant.

Who is the Best Gunmaker of Double Rifles from a craftsmanship standpoint. In a couple of hundred years, when all of the Double rifles are gathered in a Museum. Whose body of work will be judged the Best of the Best?

If the opinon is Purdey or another long lived company can we pick a period that represents their highest quality output. How would that period stack up agaist the smaller makers who only produced for a much shorter time.
