LJ,
I have actually heard of Monk (besides the TV series) and they were spoken highly of. I think you did well.
There were many good, small gunmakers scattered across Britain which were overshadowed by London and even Birmingham. Finding these gems allows one to experience classic British game guns at a fraction of the price of the "name" makers. There is little downside to these makers as any parts breakage, unlikely as it may be, would mean having to fabricate a new part which would be offset by the reasonable initial price of the gun. You will probably see a faster rise in value with this gun as these lesser known makers become better known. Again, good purchase.
