My recent acquisition being a re-stocked Purdey pigeon gun I have questions if the butt was checkered in the Purdey style. Can anyone who have a vintage pre-war gun with the original checkered but post a phot please?

Sorry, mine is a 1921 gun.

Which war does it need to be pre?

Kirby Hoyt has several on his web site. Have you looked at GI?

OK mine was made 1906.

Sorry, mine is 1933
