Agreed- A Purdey is a James purdey London made Best Grade sidelock shotgun- A Purdy is a brand of paintbrushes- A Purty Gal is from the Hee-Haw show of yesterdays--
Baker went out of business in 1912- in 1917 our American gun companies were involved in the WW1 armament race- and this butt ugly Baker with all the wood "Unproud" of the metal, crappy engraving(?) is a joke- and this numbnut in GA gets a 44/44 positive rating on the Gun Busters website tote board- why? Who in their right mind would pay more than $350 for that POS Baker?
