From what I've read the Scott cost more than a Purdey.One of the reasons that the combined firm a Webley and Scott dropped out of top range guns. Incedently I have seen a very nice side lock gun by Martin Scott who set up on his own after the amalgamation in 1897.It was not of the quality of the W&C Scott guns ,but then little else was. According to Boothroyd he was not listed after 1900.
