This has helped, and hurt, at the same time.
I looked at the William Larkin Moore inventory.
The Garbi is a very nice best gun, for $7,000.
The Arrizabalaga is an even nicer best gun, for $22,000, at just over three times the cost of a Garbi.
Then the Piotti is a cut above the other two, for $30,000, but it's over four times the cost of the Garbi.
And finally, there's a geniune Purdey London best gun, which is the nicest of the four, and it costs $43,500, which is just over six times the cost of the Garbi.
Dagnabbit, best guns are like all other things in this sin cussed world of woe, the better a best gun is, the more it costs!
For now, it makes me love my nice, lightweight, tired looking $600 V. Bernardelli, which looks better each night, as I rub it with a wool sock, then it takes another application of boiled linseed oil.
But the thought of a shootable five thousand dollar Purdey is truly an inspiration.
The quest begins, for a bargain best gun.
