Yep, I think we have very similar tastes - Leonard is the other one you
correctly pointed out.

On thing would say - as much as I get on well with Americans
and do alot of business with US companies, it amazed me how long
it took for people in the US who were interested in English guns
to move away from buying "names". I think books like the Dallas
"Holland book" where he states all guns made prior to 1892 were
made by Scott (or one of the configurations of the brothers
W, C Scott etc etc).

Re "DRs with most of the other top fastener types (cross bolt, hidden Holland type, etc.)
that were off face, but not Webley screw grips."

Some of it has to do with the Cartridge as well - I think Hollands are good
but people always seem to want to overload doubles and make them HV Tacholers
with pressure levels like the WSM and WSSM cartridges. I prefer to stay with
the heavy bullet, lower velocity - just look at NitroX's post on the Cull - his 9.3 x 74R
was doing 2170 or something like that.

The Holland .470 recently. PHV-1 you say would be identical to the Army & Navy
on the right of the pictures above. I do think that the FIT and FINISH or a true Holland
Sidelock is better than other guns - in general.

In regards to names, I liked a description a friend in the US
gave me of Rigby's guns and how to view them.

Rigby Pre 1920ish - Rigby Bissell Rising Third bite
Rigby Post1920ish - Webley Screw Grips and PHV1's

Paul Roberts Rigby's - again split into Early and Late ones
(we think quality drpped off the lnger he had the name)

Mexican Rigby's - the name used after the US person purchased
the name.

Anyway, will have to compare photos sometime.
