Purdey top lever Island lock ~ No cast so ok for the right handed or left handed shooter!

Description:
Hammerguns - This find Purdey dates from 1870 and was sleeved in modern times which has allowed it to become a very shootable and functional piece of history at an affordable price.
*If you are unfamiliar with the term "Island Lock" take a look at the right hand or left-hand lock on this shotgun and you will note that the stock wood goes all the way around the lock, thus making the lock an "island" of steel in wood. Purdey is well known with this feature, but I have seen other English makers do this also, possibly copying Purdey. *** 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: 5125 or browse the main site to see our full gun collection.
