I believe the lad mentioned "functionally" , Thorny. As in, bringing something to bag, actually using, being within the grasp of ownership ($$$$) and all that rot.
Funny, when one gets away from the gunroom, the snifter of $500 a glass bourbon, the cigar smoke, and the pictures on the walls of game in it's element, the English name on the rib most likely should be taken with a grain of salt. I doubt the game cares if it is taken with an Ivory Johnson, or a Boss.
The "Empire" guns weren't "Royals", ol 'sod. Not by accident, either.
Thinking is clearer, when it's in tangables. A bird in hand is worth two engraved on the sidelocks, even if they are 24K.
That being said, don't look to me to borrow a hacksaw. Too many, best and otherwise, have met that end already.
Upgraded and personalized is one thing, pimped is quite another.
Best,
Ted
