Tom I love this one. I think it would be sacrilegious to declare an"improved p&o" but I think this is just that. We might should leave it at p&o variant (you've named this perfectly), but I would be tempted to draw this from the box over the original. I'd love to see a head to head field test.
Between this andDirty Harry you've really hit two out of the park. Thanks for sharing these.

WOW! That one really pops! I've got to agree with William - out of the park!

Beautiful P&O even though my preference for a hackle on it is the brown feather!
