OP George L. Sidelock Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 1,417 South Carolina	I traded today for a very nice James Purdey Bar-in-Wood 12 bore thumbhole underlever latch hammergun. One of the hammers is a replacement that doesn't quite match the other original one. Does anyone here have an idea where to find a matching replacement?

It may not be the "budget fix" but at least it will be the proper one. And... as you've obviously convinced yourself, a good Purdey is worth it. Since you're in SC, why not bring the gun up to Vintagers this Month? Purdeys may be there (although not currently listed) and can best advise.

If they still do that sort of work, they'll build a clone of whichever is the correct hammer. It won't be a Purdey repair, but it will be undetectable, and you will have it back in a fraction of the time and a lot less cost. On the other hand, by having Purdey do it, you will have a lovely receipt on their letterhead.
