Suppose it was cast on instead of cast off, would that make a difference to the Monte Carlo side of the palm swell, or do you think the schnabel would be superior to the beaver tail?
Then, of course you would have to consider the merits of leaf spings over coils and whether the sidelock's trigger pulls, were actually in any way superior to the Purdey self opening mechanism, particularly since the introduction of the Snaphance Locks.
( OK. I own up! 3 large Port's and it all goes a bit surreal!!) xD
Shall we go back to POI and POA making sure we get a signed POD? F.A.B. anyone?
