Rocketman:
The W&R is in the description column and the W&S is in the Finished column. The concept of matching a Purdey Gun seems to have some merit, although this gun was ordered with two sets of barrels a 16 and 28 bore. My general impression of the times was a pair of 12's would have been the norm.
Maybe you can help me decipher my gun's description. 1 R 7th B.T.B. Gun Steel 28" N.P. I have the 28" barrels and Nitro Proof figured out. Mine is a 16 bore sidelock non-ejector gun and obviously with nitro proofed 28" steel barrels. I would say it has somewhat over 50% engraving and fairly plain wood.
Regarding the Purdey issue, you all have perked my interest. I have fired off an e-mail to them and we will see if they respond. If they do I will let you know.
Another description by mine is 1 R 7th B.T.B. S.E. Steel N.P. I gather the S.E. is for Sidelock Ejector.
Thanks to all for assistance.
