Your Hussey plus $8gs?

Wow - that sounds like a bad deal for you and a great deal for the guy with the Purdey.

What's your Hussey like - sleeved, refinished, or something major like that?

If you really have a quality grade Hussey in the condition you describe, and were the Purdey in exactly the same condition, then, frankly, you are just trading for a percieved name up grade. You certainly won't have gained 8k in actual increased quality of the gun. I have a Lang and Hussey sidelock that is a best gun in every sense of the word. Just doen't have "Purdey" on the rib. Since the Purdey seems actually to be in lesser condition, I don't believe that I would trade him even for it.

I'm with Joe & OWD on this one. Hussey & Purdey are both considered to be "London Best" guns and even if the condition of both were equal a trade with 8K to boot would not be in your best interest.

Just My Humble Opinion, George

Happy birthday George

It's easy to say a Hussey is as good as a Purdey...too bad the market doesn't bear this out.

What are you speaking of?

I guess I am asking are you refering to any certain gun? not trying to stir the pot or anything.

My Hussey is an Imperial Ejector. Really quite nice a gun but I did not consider it on tier with a Purdey. My gun does have replacement barrels and is choked like I really like. I tried to sell it months ago but never had any intrest.

purdey is just a name and not worth trading for. as with other material objects one gets to certain level of quality and rest is big name premium. is new purdey worth what they cost? nope.

Don't kid yourself a Purdey is more than just a name...are the new ones worth the cost ?....If you can afford one it doesn't really matter.
