For me, a GH is hard to beat in bang for the buck. 3 iron Turkish crolle is gorgeous and stands out from a distance. If you are lucky, you might pick up a GH with 4 iron crolle. Most GHs have fluid steel ribs, but some have nice damascus ribs.
American black walnut was used on lower grade 0-2 grade guns. Higher grade guns got English thin shell imported walnut. That means the best black walnut were put on a few GHs. Some got highly figured crotch wood that is gorgeous.
There is a lot of variation in GHs, but Finding a small bore GH with good Damascus barrels and ribs and well figured American black walnut is what I look for.
