A Greener FH16 was 16 guineas, an FH50 was 50 guineas. Internals are the same - the difference?
The amount of finishing, quality of wood, the care put into the final article. they all started off as the same barreled actions.
Take alook at a Webley screw grip model from the 1930s. all stared ife as the same barrelled action. The price then and now depends on what was done with it.
Case in point - Webley & Rogers actioned Army & Navy sidelock ejector sold last year for £400. Thomas Bland built on exactly the same action from the same source but with much higher degree of finish - £12,000.
What is a Browning B25? Whay are the various models all so far apart in cost?
The point is that all sorts of things are built on acommon platform - the end result can be very different.
The new Evans is not for me and not for you but it does fill a niche.
BTW, the current Guerini model in better grade than the Maxum is almost $10,000.
