Made by means you build the gun greener made guns but sold barreled actions brazier made barreled actions and complete guns or just locks and actions. a lot of guns sold by iron mongers retail gun dealers etc.never built any part of the gun just ordered it sometimes with extra finish .your evens Scott comparison would be valid if both were the same model and finish I have never seen a Scott that wasn't messed with not be finished to high standard.i have a Scott 1881 that the locks inside are as nice as any gun I have worked on its the same model Holland's sold as the climax.guns were made to a price .
