Best of British

[GTJC460]

I was reading through The Best of British book and decided to search some of the makers featured in the book.

I thought I'd share this link here as I had to wipe a little drool off my desk after looking here: http://mckaybrown.com/www.mckaybrown.com/Engraving.html

Creative Art is not made up of British engravers...

Bert,

Thanks for posting the links. For whatever reason ( or lack thereof ) I never thought to look up the gun maker's website to see what they are offering. Very nice, as it should be considering the prices noted on their order page.

Regards,

Bert I saved all the pages, it will be something for me to do in my next lifetime......

Yes. I know...I was looking at the gun makers site, which is certainly British!

 

[Beathard]

Brian, why would you say Creative Arts is a British Gunmaker? Its a british gun on a british site as stated.

 

[Haraga.com]

Beathard, where did Brian type that? I must have missed something.

 

[Beathard]

He said creative arts are not made up of British engravers. A true statement, but seems out of left field.

 

[Haraga.com]

Two left fields do not make a right field.

Simple explanation.

Title of post said "Best of British". That's kinda specific.

Knowing that there are both British makers and engravers, that is what I expected to see.

When I clicked, I got British maker, Italian engravers...


Just not what I expected.

There is nothing "wrong" with the combination - my mind was set to look at British and that's not what I saw.

Best of British is the title of the book. I don't see how that's left field.

 

[Brian Marshall]

Neither do I...

As I said, it was the word British - in my mind I expected to see British engraving.

For whatever reason I clicked on the page that featured Creative engraving first. No big deal...

I own the book. Pulled it last night and read it 'till I fell asleep. Some nice work in there...

I note that, with exception of Creative arts none of the engravers is given credit for their amazing work. Without the work of rhe engravers these are "field grade" guns. Fred
