Sometimes when you purchase an old case sight unseen at an auction, you Only get the case. But in this instance, I hit the jackpot!
Always a good day when something like that happens. What are the little numbered markers?
Excellent. Everything seems to be in fine shape too.
The markers are to draw your peg in a driven shoot. They look to be ivory to me and are the gem of the lot.
Your lucky day Owen.
I hope that you weren’t too disappointed that they didn’t leave the gun in the case as well.
Parabola, Fortunately the case was not empty…
You are a lucky guy for sure, how about buying me a lottery ticket?
What year is the Purdey?
Mike, Will do. Delivered March, 1938 to Sweden.
Wonderful. Please show us more pictures of the little ivory pegs. And a few of the shotgun wouldn't hurt, should time permit.
Mike the specs are just about ideal for my purposes. 6lbs 1.9 oz, 28” IC/IM, 2.5”, straight grip, .027 both barrels. I really lucked up on this one. I’ll try to add photos soon.
Man that is a pot of gold
