No one has called my old crossover PHE Trap a "sinistral" gun, as John Amber and the TPS authors would call it. However, "ugly" has been used on the old pigeon gun many times. The BHE 20 gauge pictured in The Parker Story lives very near me and I have offered to buy it a few times, but the owner is a bit stubborn about parting with it. I have also tried to buy John Amber's old sinistral Purdey, but also been rebuffed by the owner. In fact, Jack Puglisi turned me down on the NH, but because of the amount of my offer, not because the gun wasn't for sale.
