I am unaware of any proof that a gun was made in the white by Reilly anD finished by Purdey. The only Purdey guns I can think of that were finished as opposed to built in house were some of their box locks, rifles, etc.

While a nice story, I doubt Reilly made sidelocks for Purdey or if their hammer guns were of equal quality.

And yes I own a very nice Reilly BLNE.
