"Since the 1980's major collectors, mostly American, have been fundamental to the revival of the English gunmaking tradition. I believe they forced a major improvement in the quality, as it is their well-informed commissions which have allowed certain British gunmakers, including ourselves, to really excel."
SIMON CLODE • Westley Richards Managing Director (1987-2016)
