Small Bore,

I most certainly agree with your statements about the Purdey. The level of skill required to produce such a work of art is exceeded by none.

I suspected the guns were made in Purdey's shop, and I am glad to hear confirmation of it.

While I don't like the tang safety, I stand in awe of the workmanship. I agree that a tang safety is appropriate on a self-cocking hammer gun. The Italians do that with theirs.

Your statement of the level of skill required for a gun like this is what I tried to say early on in this thread. You have said it more forcefully and more elegantly than I could have.

Thank you,
Curl
