This fine little 20 gauge does have high end features as one might expect from a Purdey including the fact that it has highly polished double sears. The Overhanging sear is a safety sear. It also has a very beautifully done third bite with a hidden "Nose" rib extension at the breech that has a slide coming from the breech that goes over the top of the nose. This is similar to the Westley Richards sliding third bite but much more elegant and petite. *If you are considering this gun to have bent I would discourage you from buying this gun as it recently had a professional and extremely strong wrist repair. I am sure it is stronger than the original wood now but extreme heating of the stock could possibly weaken the epoxy bond.

This little 1892 gem is beautifully balanced and comes in a period case with accouterments. A super nice little 20g Purdey and it does not cost 30-40 grand. *** Note: To see this gun with high resolution photos and a zoom-in feature, go to the vintagedoubles main site and search for the gun ID: 3925 or browse the main site to see our full gun collection.
