HomelessjOe, Very nice looking Purdey Pigeon Gun,Very early !0,000 series? If you ever have reason to remove the Firing-Pins, I would like to know the length overall of the "Striker". I have had several from that period with those heavy'Detonating"I would think yours is one of the earliest "Big-UNs" I'm looking for some 'Unusual Configurations" of early Top-Lever Hammer-Guns for Donald Dallas's "PURDEY" The Definitive History, Volume ll. C/C..dt CC how much you charge to freshen up the stock ?...I'll let you measure the firing-pins for free.

Really one of the more useless things on a gun h0mie - and almost never seen on the English lite gamegun.
I can only think of 'em being used in the worthless sport of the pigeon ring. Spring loaded dizzy birds they were, and at the mercy of squaty rich old men who can no longer make the trek.
Side clips, good for taking a hunks o flesh tho!
Andy here's another 'almost never'....a 20 bore is pretty light. Is that a ladies Pigeon gun or perhaps a young boys.
