Description:
Hammerless Sidelocks - This true BEST quality Purdey was built during the Edwardian era being delivered to Lord Alfred Fitzroy the 11th of November 1892. See a copy of the original entry in the Purdey ledger and history in the photo\'s attached.
Given a new life with nitro sleeved barrels (with recent quality blacking) which were built and proofed in the UK. Modern stock dimensions make this gun a great choice for the field.
This is the gun featured in the Shooting Sportsman article by Roger Catchpole last spring. It was titled "The Purdey & the Partridge ,A gun’s provenance as related to Huns" and was in the March /April issue. Email me and I will email you a copy.
In material things it is rare when history, craftsmanship, and function become one but when it does one should seize the opportunity.
