i would pass on it, too. But, not because it is not a real Purdey, if it's not. But, because of the condition. I believe in buying the gun, not the name, and have a J. Manton 16 bore double percussion m/l in very high condition. Though it is not a "real Manton", it is an excellent quality gun, and one I am proud to own.
