If the term Best Gun is juts a pompous English term or a swindle, why did just about every maker everywhere build their best sidelock SxSs to London Best Gun standards?

The Spanish makers certainly did this.

Was it just fashion? Or were the London makers on to something (and the Spanish recognized it)?

BTW: Innovation wise, did any of the Spanish makers ever bring anything new to the table regarding the design of top-quality SxSs? Just wondering.

I know some Belgian, German/Prussian & Italian makers did. I don't know enough about Spanish guns to answer the question.
