A friend has offered to sell me his T.Page Wood best grade sidelock 12GA SXS. It was sleeved by Westley Richards in the 1980s and has 2-3/4" chambers and 1-1/4 ounce proofs. I had guessed at its value some time ago, and he has offered to sell it to me at the upper end of my guess. I won't bias you with that number. No pictures, but the bluing is near 100%, CC probably 50%, wood finish 85%, with one tiny chip out of the edge of the fore end. The rose & scroll engraving is as good as I've seen on the few Purdeys I have examined close up. The action has carved fences, very nice as well. Ejectors, of course. Straight grip stock with highly figured, correctly grained wood. I don't know much about this maker but I know a good gun when I see it. What is the probable current market value?
