Here's an old hardware gun of mine that is my go to gun. I love American guns too.

Here is what a $5,000 Purdey looks like. Note the shabby, non-original forend, and the missing stock oval. Think they will get their asking price?

Some nice antique working decoys, calls and a vintage ducker or two - a good time in the blind, and when its too cold, but to stay in the house.


Sounds like you're looking to purchase a Browning A 5 or a 10 gauge SxS.

For all I know the old Purdey may have promise, likely being the 5th gun in a quintet and all. But it would probably take more to make it servicable than one would want to have in it.
