Perhaps a Webley Premier and certain Greeners and Westley's would be BV1*
Note * denotes exceptional examples of the gunmakers craft. Sal, you appear to be using BV to denote original quality as you appear to be speaking of certain guns of a maker's line-up. OQ is where we insert the gun's quality grade. CC is where we allow for what the gun has become to date.
IMO of course, each to his own.
Don,
I think it would be really useful if you printed your value structure in full. I.m working on it.We could all print it off and use it along with all the other paraphinalia we haul along to auctions. Micrometers, bore guages, thickness guages, 4 issues of Nigel Brown's tomes Dig's encyclopedia and all Boothroyds writings. Then none of us would make a mistake all guns would be correctly valued, we would all be content and busy reworking our new finds. And this board would be VERY quiet.
