Again, I was not saying that all W. Richards were poor quality. I never even mentioned Belgian guns. My only intent was to show that it was a ploy to capitalize on the good Westley Richards name. I still believe that to be the case, regardless the high quality of some of the W. Richards guns that were made.

If it were NOT meant to capitalize on the good name of Westley Richards I believe the full first name would have been employed, for example William Richards.

JMHO, SRH

May God bless America and those who defend her.
