Hi Wild Skies

Here are some photographs of my Purdey snap action built inn 1869 predating the one in your picture by seven years. The photograph taken from the side though not the best you can see how Purdey manufactured the top rib extremely deep so they became level with the action top. Also you can see how high the rib is when viewing the barrels directly from the breach end. Now I know engraving is purely personal but there is no engraving in this guns top rib at the breach in fact it is extremely plain.

The only lessons in my life I truly did learn from where the ones I paid for!
