Re: "Best " Quality Doubles vs other Doubles??

I offer this caveat to "a 'best' gun is almost always a Sidelock." Unless, of course, it is a Westley Richards droplock. I have always considered those to be a 'best gun' as they are built with the same care and attention, although the 'sidelock' mechanism just happens to be located in a different part of the gunDave (who treasures his 1907 built, pristine and top of the line 476 WR Droplock as he should, as a work of art and a rara avis indeed.)

valid point re Westley Droplocks -I put the higher end models of Droplocks in the same category as Sidelocks.
