Thank you for sharing this and I am pleased the Purdys are
being used
Purdys are paintbrushes, Purdeys are Limey shotguns- not too shabby either. I wish I had kept my Granddad's old Island Lock hammer Purdey= His Father, my maternal Great-Grandfather, took it in payment for a bareknuckle prize fight he won in Dublin in 1905-- from a crooked boxing promoter (aren't they all though) who tried to Welsh out on paying him his cash purse.
Seamus O'Malley was not a man to trifle with, he had a hot Mick temper-- He never shot it, gave it to my Grandfather Sean O'Malley to hunt with. If I could have any of the Limey "Bests" I would want a matched pair of Boss 12 bore game guns, but a matched pair of Purdey's(Not Purdy's) would not be too shabby either. Sort of like having to choose between a BMW or a Mercedes Benz--A decision I have yet to make ah yes!!!!
