But Lowell, if the bbls are bad, you're looking at least $12,000 to put new ones back on, a lot more to have the work done by Purdeys.
A lot remains to be discovered, like: how original is the gun? Are you certain the gun was reproofed in the UK? How is the stock? And on and on.
I'd have a qualified 'smith look it over before I bought it. IF you don't have one, tell us where you are and we can recommend one for you.
I would also email the gun's serial # to Purdeys. They will tell you how that gun left their shop.
