Description:
PURDEY PAIR 12 BORE Side by Side Shotgun **REDUCED PRICE**
98% FACTORY NEW, EXHIBITION WOOD, CASED
General Specs: Purdey, London, Year 1981, 12 Gauge, 7lbs 1oz, SxS
Serial Number: 28547, 28548
*We will be showing the specs for Gun #1, sn28547. The guns are identical so specs are same for Gun #2.
By the 1980's the English gun trade was again flourishing and at its finest, and Purdey was still the best of the BEST. There are some benefits of the later guns such as improved steels, production methods, and the more modern man's appetite for the finest wood. These guns are no exception. This pair, built in 1981, show the finest workmanship and the finest figured wood. He was an avid shooter, so the guns do have minor signs of being shot; they are not closet queens. They are magnificent, with very high factory original condition. The guns are cased in the Purdey motor case that needs some TLC, which we will do before they are sold. Buying a pair of fine Purdey shotguns is an excellent investment, as the value of the used pair will continue to go up with the cost of a new pair. Presently it would cost nearly $250,000 to purchase this pair new. These can be had for a small fraction of that cost giving you instant equity. BECAUSE THE GUNS ARE A TRUE MATCHED PAIR, I WILL BE DESCRIBING AND SHOWING PHOTOS OF GUN #1, WITH A FEW PHOTOS OF THE GUNS SIDE BY SIDE. DETAILS AND PHOTOS OF GUN #2 ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. THEY ARE IDENTICAL IN ALL WAYS, INCLUDING CONDITION. If the guns do not sell as a pair within 60 days they will be made available as individual guns. If you are interested you can email and get your name on a list in the event they don’t sell as a pair. We can alter the stock dimensions to your needs right here in our shop, including hot oil bending for cast. Priced to sell, so don’t let this fine Purdey pair pass you by! Thanks for looking.
