if you go for it, have turnbull do the work, get a receipt and then one day, sell it for profit or loss...people pay for turnbull's fine work, if you have that receipt...realistically, i would budget around ten grand for the project...keeping in mind that demand for this sort of thing is dying, quite literally...

Any Purdey is worth saving.
Recoil Rob, am I to believe that is the same gun?

Turnbull would be my last resort to have any work done on an English best gun.

On one hand,the Holt's links say nothing about selling prices, which are easily found. On the other hand, the OP says nothing about wall thickness. We have seen perfectly acceptable Purdeys sell for less than the price of this gun, within the last month or two. Stocks can be fixed, barrel walls can't.

My point of the Holts links were to show that you could import one a lot less expensive than this money pit. Usually the estimated range are very close to realized purchases.

The first gun you linked to is a non ejector, with a cracked stock. Im just guessing, but a non ejector Purdey might be like a tattoo-you better like it because you have to pay to get rid of it.
