Blue Grouse: My error, your gun is indeed stocked to the fences, and if it was proved in London then I'd have to believe that the good folks at H&H were the makers after all. FWIW, I read somewhere that Purdy actually made their own 2nd Quaility guns in-house and only outsourced their No.s 3&4 quality offerings. Perhaps that was common practice with all the top-tier makers?
