Several years ago I made a comment in a post how some guns had a 'warm feeling' and others did not. The responses I got varied but generally I got the feeling many thought I was an idiot from that comment. I will grant you, I am an idiot, but that single post could not have given you that much insight.
I became aware of this feeling many many years ago, when I was able to wander around with other peoples Purdeys and Hollands. I distinctly recall almost every Holland had something that the Purdey did not.
I've long since given up my fascination with things Anglophile, except possible good Ale. My senses haven't numbed simply because I now can pick up most nice, original Parkers, and sense this warmness. I'd die from exposure trying to keep warm with a repro.
