Was Thad Scott sober ?

Yes, I agree "names" get more money, I maybe should have emphasided that the US market in particular didn't value "no name" guns - A&N, Lyon & Lyon - until the level of knowledge in the market had got to a level that it was not the name that was so important on middle level makers but who the hell made the gun.

Leonard / Jeffry being another good example !

As soon as the market realised just what an A&N was (ie Screw Grip or PHV1), the values started to increase dramatically.
