Will know within the next two weeks! Out of interest were the island lock guns an early design or just one of the purdey designs of the period?

New stock, barrels redone and just had Toby do the hammers. He did a great job on the hammers too. I know you are going to do a great job on this very nice Purdey. Can't wait. Frank

So good of the guys all round to rush it through for me. I took it to my stocker immediately who grumpily said he would do it for me. Island locks...yuk! Lol. Should have it done by my boxing day shoot. Found a lovely piece of walnut with him. Excited. T My Blog.... http://www.vintageshotgun.com My e-book; http://www.vintageshotgun.com/ebook/index.html
