Re-barrelling by Purdey is up to around £11,000 now.

Re-stocking is around £6,500.

I can get the work done to the same standard by Purdey men for £4,500 for barrels and £2,200 (plus wood) for stocking. Add another £1,100 for re-stocking the forend.

This gun is basically a new Purdey on a 1920s action and furniture which are all in fantastic condition. A new gun would cost £57,000 plus VAT and you can't order Harry Kell engraving on a new gun! This one is up for £20,000.
