QH01, it is generally a mistake to try to ascribe "quality" to a maker's name. With the exception of Boss (maybe) all makers made and/or sold a wide range of original quality grade guns, best work to farmer grade. Gunmakers needed to sell whatever their clients would/could afford and/or wanted. All gunmakers could get out a best work gun either with in-house workers, with out-workers, or by outright purchase from a trade firm.
