I'm not sure I'd call that "AAAA Exhibition grade wood" either... It's a pretty gun to be sure, but hardly a Purdy.

If that is an American "Purdy" then an AMC Pacer is an American Rolls Royce!

he didn't write purdey. it's an amerrcan prudy me thinks they used to make guns but now only make paint brushes. if you boys don't read small print you're likely get screwed in modern times.
ps. ask homeless joe about it he is out PURDY expert.

Gee Whiz guys, you are making me hurt under all this negative talk about my American Purdys. I would sell though a rather worn Paragon for that price.

Dave,
That is some Purdy! I need this guy to write descriptions of my guns. As to only four custom made Bakers, I believe that when Folsom made this Baker, the only stock grades were the Black Beauty and Leader. The four remaining grades were custom made to order. Funny how you can read something any way you want.
I wonder what my Black Beauty Special 20ga is worth compared to this gun? If anyone is looking for Paragons, I've go a few at that price.
Chris
