James Purdey Classic Side by Side from 1887 with Stunning Fences, ejectors, and makers case

Description:
Hammerless Sidelocks - This is a great little Purdey for a great price. So you will ask, why is this gun so cheap for a Purdey? Two reasons. We got a great deal and are passing it on to you and also there is some very light (very hard to see) pitting towards the muzzles. This Purdey is tight, in proof with great wall thickness, and field ready.
