Not big on posting auctions but this Purdey must have quite a story to tell.

To respond to Jewelers question and confirming Dave K's comment the gun has never been reproved for nitro. It is, nontheless, a beautiful original black powder Purdey whose provenance can, probably, be traced back to it's original owner. I'll wager the gun saw time in "INJA"

Best Regards, George

Fine looking Purdey! I do have a question about the markings on the barrel flats. What does the larger markings to the far left in the photo, nearest the chambers signify?

Thanks
