Being a cynic I have always wondered what was the hold that Wm Evans had over Purdey because Purdey where renowned to enter litigation with any one that came close to using a Purdey looking part on one of their guns, but their name Wm Evens put this on his guns. It must have been a serious secret that Evens had. Or is it just my cynical thinking.

The only lessons in my life I truly did learn from where the ones I paid for!
