BIW Purdey 9513 appeared as an action, stock & forend in Gavin's April 21 sale, Lot # 218 and sold for 2,600 sterling against an estimate of 700-900. It appeared again last week as a complete gun with 30" original damascus barrels, numbers matched, re-proofed and rejointed, as a 30" hammer gun at Mackinlay's in Scotland, asking price 10,500 sterling. With Plenty of barrel thickness left and some nice case color, it sold fairly quickly. The investor must have sweated a bit as the gun went through proof, but when it emerged unscathed, he knew he would turn a profit, which was tidy indeed!
