What guns did you see you liked but didn't buy?

Sounds as vendors sold quite well.


With a fine gun on his arm, a man becomes a sporting gentleman, both on the field and off.

There were lot's of fine guns there for sure. I spent my allowance there on a 1906 Purdey pigeon gun.
But the best deal was a pair of Atkins for 12,500K.
I had already done my deal or they would be in my safe now. As I have been buying English guns now for awhile I have started coming around again to wanting a Parker 20 gauge or a Model 21, 20 gauge. There were many to choose from.

What really caught my eye was the beautifully engraved pair of Holland & Holland 20ga guns for $225,000. Would have to win the lottery twice to buy that!

Found this one heartily looking for a new home and picked it up yesterday after getting it moved across the state line from NC on Sunday. Gave it a good cleaning today. So looking forward to following around some dogs with it in the fall.

Damn Vic, that's one pretty Purdey. It was good to see you again in Sanford.

Wow that is a beauty. My pass was hard at first, but easy in the end. I imported a gun in about 2016 from England and it was #2 of a pair including the original double case. Then, wandering around late Sunday afternoon, I spotted its twin. I haggled the vendor down to 49.5K and after a brief internal struggle made the rational decision and offered to sell mine alongside his if the new buyer wanted the pair and case. If it sells it will be a 2.5x return in 6 years and it will definitely justify some further purchases to celebrate my success.

Thank you, Stephen, I'm really excited that it worked out. Started looking at this gun when at the Southern last year. Found them a bit more motivated to sell this time.
It's a pretty basic 20 gauge with a splinter forearm, double triggers, and ejectors. 2 1/4 DAH, 1 9/16 DAC, and 14 9/16 LOP.
I have yet to figure out whose initials are on it. The dealer never learned though I believe did try to find out. In fact, I've seen some correspondence from Nick Harlow, the Gun Room manager at Purdey, that indicates that will not release that tidbit until a gun is 50 years old. Have a suggestion on all that?

Ask Purdey to contact the original owners (if extant) and give them your name and contacts. Perhaps you can work it from the other end, so to speak. A truly awesome gun.
