You're right. It was an error on my part. I mixed up two different guns I'd seen at shows. I knew ZH made the later Derby's imported by AA, but I incorrectly thought the earlier one's were made by APM. More of a memory lapse than anything, I'd researched the Derby's a couple of years ago..

Here's an Armas Parkemy I have, waiting it's turn to be restored.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

I admit some mild jealousy, The only thing that would make me like this gun more would be if it was a 20 instead.

I suspect this gun was built for the european market, based on the sling swivels. But it's got a nice splinter for end and english stock. I think the gun has suffered more wear and damage being put into and taken out of safes over the years than it has in the field.

I shot the gun earlier this week, and it did great. it fits me well, so I was able to shoot it about as well as I do any SXS, which is to say, not great, but not terrible.
