OK. Good explanation. But here something else. I'm pulling this from memory, so I may be off. My gun library is still packed away in storage.

As I recall, when Purdey used to make different grades of sidelocks, guess what the difference was between their "Best" grade gun (extra finish was not offered yet) and the next grade down.....

......As far as I can tell from the catalog excerpts printed in Dallas book, it was the amount of engraving on the action. This gun was still made with Whitworth Bbls, on a Beesley action, and it featured ejectors.
