Interesting video on London Bests
 
The discussion on barrel wall thickness was interesting.

Thanks very much Todd! - most interesting to hear his criteria on BWT. Also loved his typically Brit vernacular on the handling qualities of sleeved guns - "lumpy in the hands" - great stuff!!

Entertaining. But the production values were a bit lacking... especially lighting.

Nice video thanks for posting. The auction % (25%+20% VAT) will eventually need to change to support sales.

Holt’s also produced a two part YT showcasing their current offering. Well done.

Would "American Sign Language" been an improvement in interpreting the video? Unfortunately, I didn't understand the first word that gentleman said.

Turn on the closed caption in settings sure does help.

You girls need to get out more. Fortunately I worked in Mayfair for over two years and try as I may I couldn't teach them to speak Kentuckian. That was 46 years ago, but I can still understand their butchered speech. I had a sleeved Parker and it did feel "lumpy." A doctor friend of my parents was given a cased Woodward. It rested in the closet for years and his wife gave it to the painter. All these gun shops were a lunch time walk from my office on North Audley. Purdy's was a bit uppity to young Americans. Holland and Holland was the best. They had glassed cases to view all manner of their guns and the staff was very forgiving of my obvious lack of wealth. Rigby was on Pall Mall and they too had guns on display, but it was tiny compared to H&H. I don't think I was making more than $6,000 a year, but that kind of money would have filled your cabinet with fine guns and rifles then.

You might request in the comment section that they speak English in future videos.
