Back in the 90's the American Rifleman did some reviews on some of the 'Best' markers in the world, James Purdey, Holland & Holland. Lebeau Courally, this is how their review went; Checkering is perfect, wood to metal fit is perfect, functioning is perfect, blueing is perfect, engaving is perfect. And on and on and on, pretty boring stuff. They soon lost interest in their review of these gunmakers and moved on.
