Ken - looks like a great rifle. I have case envy...mine came with a decent leather/oak/brass case, but nothing original. I love how the Purdey rifle cases have those boxed cutouts in the lid to allow room for the front and rear sights.

Earlyriser - thank you for the kind worlds. It is a looker. Re that Purdey on GI, I love the way it looks...a beauty.

Rick - I sure hope I can get it going by then. I've never been to that DR match. Is that for hammer and hammerless doubles? Looking forward to seeing your AH. I have one; lots and lots of original finish and pretty wood, but a plain unengraved rifle.
