And there was this gent I shot with on occasion years ago who was so proud of his London Best vintage hammer double. He struggled with the extra long LOP on quicker presentations but wouldn't think of cutting the butt to something more useful. Then one day while shooting he broke a hammer and it was a sight to see the squad on all fours searching for the piece in the fall leaves. His gun was out of commission for almost two years while sent for repairs, and he told me later the firm also charged him a ransom for something vague like "cleaning and adjustments". He shot the Best once in a while after that and last I knew it was mostly a white glove/safe queen and now I see him shooting with higher grade American doubles.
Yep, just one data point, and just sayin …...
