I got a call from out of the blue from Peter Johanson of "E.P. International" in Arlington, Virginia (near Old Town) who said the gun had arrived (no warning from the exporter). I could pay the invoice by checking or card. He also said he could ship it directly to the house because it was pre 1898. I will assume that this company is a correspondent with the UK company that Holt's uses "Chordline".
I have opted to pick it up on the sly to avoid a divorce. I'll provide additional information on the system once I talk to Peter. He had a table at the Dulles gun show this last weekend.
I can give the address of both firms if you'd like it. Gene
I bought my Purdey shotgun from Peter. He is fantastic to deal with. He is bidding on a shotgun for me at Holt’s on Tuesday. He can import and handle everything. I wait to see what happens.
I am also talking with “battle” on this site and he has connections that can assist with import. I have talked extensively with both Peter and Travis and they are excellent to deal with!
