RM,
I've been reading gun mags since I can't remember when, and subscribed to Guns & Ammo for many years going back to the 50's. Through articles in those rags, I became familiar with the names of Purdey and Holland & Holland, but Boss wasn't one I had ever heard of until I started reading the ads in The Gun List and Woodward didn't become familiar until I became interested in Best Guns and started reading BGJ. So, I think, H&H and Purdey, are more accepted, by the general gun buying public as being the best guns made, as where Boss and Woodward are not, and this is proved to be true in my questioning people at gun shows that I attend. I can truthfully say, that not 1 person I have ever talked to, at any gun show or guns shop in my town of 450,000 people, has ever heard of Boss or Woodward, but a lot have heard of H&H and Purdey, why is this?
