Nothing to make right on the thin walls Joe, sold as seen and perfectly legal.
Regarding a gun sold as a Purdey but clearly not a Purdey, murky waters there. If the auctioneer did not actually claim it was genuine and described it as a gun with Purdey written on it, n a box, with a letter from Purdey about the Purdey gun of the same number, hard to say.
Of course I am biased, as I get paid to stop people making these mistakes. But my view is that buying a gun you have not either checked yourself (assuming you are competent) or getting it done by someone else, is foolhardy.
