Since AyAs are all hand-finished guns, they should be judged individually.

I have two No. 2s and two No. 53s, with proof dates of 1975, 1978 and 2009.

You have to look close to find flaws with any of them.

The most noticeable qualitative difference is that the 1978 No. 2 has the plainest wood.

If I could keep only one, it would be one of the 1975s, a No. 53.
