Description:
James Purdey & Sons LTD. Two Barrel Best 20ga 28" 3” Shells 20ga 26" 2 3/4” Shells - Extra Finish - Single Tigger - Maker’s Case - Maker’s Provenance List of Craftsmen Names - this gun had a recent makeover (see attached receipt for details) done by Paul Hodgins to fit the seller during which time he waited for his pair of 28ga Purdey Guns to be made - this gun belonged to his family since it was made in 1971 - the family name will not be disclosed due to the estates desire to keep things private - the seller is a personal friend. The fitting chart shows dimensions as the gun fits today (see photograph) - locks up like new - the bluing shows field use - case colors have faded a bit - if you are looking for a field gun, this is a hunters shotgun. There is no more field versatility that a 20ga 3" gun - case colored Lightweight Game Guns are very hard to find, much less in Single Trigger.  Chokes and details are all disclosed within the photographs - this is a splendid shotgun!

Provenance of record:
On the matter of 27706 (correspondence provided by seller)
As you may already know this was built and sold in April 1971 with a set of 26 and 28 inch barrel.
You will see on the underside of the barrel just in front of the hook, the initials GW, for George Wood a very senior Barrel makers at that time.
On the forend iron you will see the initials BD although it may look more like PD. This was the Actioner Ben Delay, who was my old gun making master and so there is every chance I may have made parts of your gun. 
The gun was stocked by Harold Ben’s brother with the beaver tail forend.
Engraving was done by my old pal Danny O’Brien. Mr Woolmer did the ejector work and Mr Swanson finished the gun on the 28th Jan 1971.
