Wow! If you go with the former Purdey men you can really save some money.

Out of curiosity, how much would it cost for Purdey to have one of their current engravers do the same apttern on a gun today? ~$8500-10,000 US (just a SWAG)?

I know with British single shots, many people think they are over priced. But if you were to have the same engraving pattern reproduced today, it would cost as much as the sales price of the rifle. So basically you buy the engraving and get the rifle for free!!!

If you do a search, there was a thread devoted to the topic of "over the top" wood just a few weeks ago. Both sides give their take on the subject
