Yeah, this gun is all over the place.

The address on the rib seems to be too early, the locks are funky, the bbls are suspect, and what is the meaning of Purdey's Patent on the bottom of the action? And if it's on a Gibbs & Pitt action, it's different from any I've seen.

It's a mystery to me. I emailed the seller for the serial # so I could check it, but no response.

BTW: on the later, comparison Purdey, check out the the drop point. THAT's how those should be done. Too bad the forend iron looks like it came off another gun. I don't know why Purdeys did that.
