I have only held a Purdey once in my life. Somehow, likely by mistake they let me in the locked door at the top of three flites of stairs and into the "good gun room" (an entire story) of Kevin's in nearby Thomasville, GA. I'd just wrapped up a case in Thomas Superior Court and had on my good suit; must have fooled'em with good looks?
While terrified that I might drop it or something, the "feel" came through in full force. They didn't invite me to take it down and inspect, but from the way the wood simply transformed into the steel without a seam and the flawless finish I got the point.
No, they are not the same as a tarted up Turkish P&V...Geo
