I believe the nose of the hammers is too short, and it leaves a wide gape between the hammers and the firing pins. With the wide gape it almost leaves the impression of a non-rebounding lock at half cock.

I'll have to endorse the statement above, that instead of spending $75k+ on one of these I would rather have three or four vintage guns in good high condition for the same money.

JMHO, as always.

Apples and oranges!

I think it is much like the nostalgia cars. They might be a fair attempt, but which one would you really want in your driveway?

2007 Mustang


1967 Mustang

I'd rather have the 2007. But had you shown a 69 or 70 with a proper motor my answer would be different.

The gun is right and nice, but price is beyond my understanding.
Now I think I was wrong asking $8,000 for war time Sauer Meisterwerk. I had to double it.

I wonder if the "teats on a boar hog" safety is automatic, as well?

I was wondering the same.

It is about 500 man hours of work, it is never going to be cheap. best, Mike

Yes, and those man hours are highly skilled. The finished product bears the Purdey marque because it is the product of such high standards. It's not an AyA in disguise. There's a difference.

Are we sure it's not "something" in disquise? Who actually made that gun, start to finish?
