I have completed a project that only required about 10 years of time. I Acquired this Boss Purdey 2nd Patent Thumb Lever about 10 years ago. New stock, new pins, old case fitted to the gun. At least four different craftsmen have worked on this gun and I’ve mailed it off probably six times for work to be done. It’s been a fun project and hopefully I’ll have 30 more years to hunt and shoot clays with this somewhat unique gun. What a crazy hobby with a negative ROI unless you factor in fun and enjoyment. ![[Linked Image from jpgbox.com]](https://www.jpgbox.com/jpg/75942_1024x655.jpg)

Wonderful, Wow and Beautiful.
Tell us about the work done and the craftsman. Especially, tell us about the barrels.
Kind Regards;

That’s beautiful! I especially like the grain in the butt stock. Tell us more about the work.

Looks great Owen. How many times did you think twice about shipping the gun out?

Worth every minute it took. Did you attend the Southern this year?

That's lovely. I'd also be interested in seeing or hearing more about the project.
