Marc did say he knew it wasn't aluminum. I guess it maybe an American mindset that guns as expensive as a Purdey don't get used, this gun and many others prove differantly.
My beef comes from articles that appear in the Wall Street Journal and others that describe incredibly expensive guns of investment quality and the novice reader is perplexed as too why they are so expensive and figure, incorrectly, that its just 'in the name'.
But after additional study of the subject they eventually come to realize that the name was EARNED and not given.
