It looks like it started out as a Belgian sidelock built on a Defourney-patent self opening action. From there it looks like someone tried to create a fake Purdey.

Like Gunman, I've also seen 20th century, best-quality, hammerless Purdey sidelocks (phew) built on actions besides the Beesley. One was made on a Rogers-patent action and it checked out with Audley House as being 100% legit.

the lifters are wrong shape and location. On a Purdey they are rectangular, squared corners and centered on the flat. My safety button is different also, larger and solid all the way to the back end. When pushed forward you can't see the through bolt head as you can on this gun.

This ain't a dress rehearsal , Don't Let the Old Man IN

A former colleague of mine reported seeing "Purdeys" crafted in what's colloquially known as the Khyber pass many years ago...
