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. I’m 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. Best, Ted You should check again. What’s that old carpenter saying... measure twice cut once??? Anyway their ad says ejector, both.

The title states "ejector", the copy and specs state "non-ejector".

Here is a retail quality Purdey that Diggory Hadoke apparently sold for approx. 7K (in pounds). https://www.vintageguns.co.uk/gun-sales/purdey-12-boreWould be very hard to do the work this one needs and come in at that price point even after factoring import cost, etc. You may want to check with some of the dealers either in the states or UK and see what they have on offer before taking the plunge on this one.

Best, Ted You should check again. What’s that old carpenter saying... measure twice cut once??? Anyway their ad says ejector, both. I believe the ad copy has changed since I first read it. It now states “self opener converted from non ejector”. I tried, but, can’t see the crack in the wood they are talking about. I actually liked it better when it was a non ejector. That said, there is little to promise that it wouldn’t end up a money pit. If you know it going in, that is one thing. Best, Ted

I haven't bought all of Diggory's books, but "How in hell can we tell if 'rebarrelled by maker' or any other statement stamped on a set of worn Brit barrels is the truth?" Holt seems to take such stampings as gospel truth, but I have my doubts. What is the real story?

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 estimated prices on Holt's tend to be real low for just about every gun I take an interest in. Most go for two or tree times the low estimate, except for one which went for 24,000 pounds instead of the 2-3,000 pounds estimate. Funny thing is that others guns I had a mild interest in seem to go for the estimate range. I have eleven bids submitted in the next two auctions but would be amazed if I win one or two. In fact I will watch and perhaps raise my bid online in real time on a couple. The one other auction house over there I also look at seems to be less inclined to have guns sell for multiple of the estimate. But any runaway auction just take two bidders with determination and a checkbook.

Shed load-- wow, what is that in Limey speak, Toby- about like a Schmidt load--?? I had a older Purdey hammer gun island locks, Whitworth barrels with the "Sheaf of Wheat" stamps 12 bore-many years ago had the late Bill Jaqua of Findlay, OH sell it for me-have no idea what it would fetch today--almost wish I had kept it, although my chances to shoot it on a grouse moor in Scotland are about the same as me becoming the next Chief Justice of the Supreme Court-- Foxy--
