I believe after market installation choke tubes reduces the value of the Purdey, even though they actually increase its utility.

I have a 16 Purdey whose barrels were cut and rendered chokeless, installing Briley tubes and some work with microcell pads to rebalance it as it was on its original production entry make it a very usable gun. That said it is still a cut barrel Purdey worth much less than it would have been in the same condition with unmolested. Probably 5 to 10 k less.

A not cut, but tubed gun maybe 5k less, but Rockerman is a better source than I.
