Description:
J. Purdey & Sons Best SLE - 28ga - Small Frame - 27” - ca. 1972 - Rich Case Colors - VC Leather Maker’s Case & Dust Cover (accessories) - of the late Meredith J. Long Collection - 3" Chamber - Chokes RT: 1/4 LT: 3/4 - 14 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 1 5/8 - 1/4" cast off - 5.3 lbs - SN: 27780 - a fine shotgun with a special lineage - spectacular field gun - some evidence of field use over its 48 years of existence - I am sure that there were some special people along side with Mr. Long on most of his hunts - he was indeed, a star maker in the Houston Art World, and beyond. The case color richness on this gun is much better in person than in the photos - rich and deep.
**Excerpt:
Known for his eponymous art gallery, Meredith Long & Company, which was founded in 1957 and was the longest-running gallery in Houston before it recently closed, Mr. Long was a champion and scholar of nineteenth and early-twentieth-century American Art. In addition to bringing significant exhibitions of works to his gallery by artists like John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt and Frederic Edwin Church, Mr. Long also dealt in contemporary art, particularly championing second generation Abstract Expressionists. While largely national in scope, his program included local talent, with many well-known Texas artists passing through his gallery over its long history: Dorothy Hood, Luis Jiménez, Gael Stack, John Alexander, and Richard Stout, among others.
The Quillen-Worfe Private Gun Collection - Guns International page – please read prior to making a purchase:
- This is supposed to be fun – if fine guns are fun for you… let’s do business. I do this because I love it – I ask that we do conduct ourselves like gentlemen (and ladies when applicable) and that means I respect all levels of economic ability, I love God, Family, Friends, the USA and a love me some fine shotguns!
- I encourage you to make reasonable offers on my listings. Some of the offerings on this page belong me personally, some to friends and some belong to a couple of boutique high end dealers that I assist to market their guns online. If you’re a local buyer and the gun you buy belongs to a dealer, there will be tax due if you live the the state of Texas.
- I have been collecting guns since 1988 – so I have amassed quite a covey of what I consider to be some very fine guns and some utility guns. Feel free to call me, I’m not a dealer – so unlike most gun dealers – I am easy to talk to and will answer the phone on weekends and late evenings (not after 9PM CST).
- I DO NOT make trades with unreasonable people – with that said, if you understand that making a trade must be done with the mindset that you’re going to have to be extremely realistic about the value of your guns -then I’m very open to that discussion. Otherwise, I stay away from them.
- Lay-A-Way is available on some guns, please inquire about my terms if you have a need – glad to do it when I can. Typically 33% down, 33% in 30 days and then 33% plus shipping on the following 30 days.
- I buy Guns!
- ALL OF MY TRANSACTIONS ARE DONE THROUGH MY FFL with whom I have a very solid relationship. If you buy a guns from me, you’ll pay them (this may vary from time to time), they will ship to your FFL of choice and all dealings will be with them post receipt of funds. They are a high end boutique gun dealer in the Texas Hill Country and can accommodate the entire transaction. If you live in Texas and want to drive to see one of my guns, reach out to me to discuss making an appointment with my FFL – I do not show guns at my home nor do I meet guys at public locations for viewings or sales. ALL GUNS ARE LEGALLY TRANSFERRED through my FFL – there are NO EXCEPTIONS.
- Certified funds are preferred – if you send a personal check for payment the FFL ships one week after receipt. Certified funds payments – shipments are done next business day. NO CREDIT CARD payments are accepted.
- I encourage you to shoot the guns you buy from me – so during your 3 day inspection – shoot the gun. Make sure it is operating in the manner you expected. If you are not happy – return the gun for a full refund except shipping costs.
