"Perazzi/Beretta who produce some stunning guns - but not English, and not nearly as bespoke for the price."

This phrase confuses me. Perazzi will let you choose wood from a vast selection of blanks, engraving which will be by hand and signed, the gun will be shot for POI and POA by the client and finally adjusted till the fit is perfect. How is that less bespoke than any other?

"Stunning but not English" for some international buyers may be a positive characteristic. Failing to see this may be the problem for the new British makers.
