Rare Lightweight 12 ga Purdey Game Gun with 25" bbls

Description:
Unusual Purdey gun. Most "funeral" or "black" Purdey guns were sent "out in black" with the expectation that they will return to London to be finished per buyer's taste. This gun was ordered in blued steel and gold lettering with minimal engraving. Copy of the Purdey dimension book entry for the gun and the actioner's work order can be found in the pictures.

The gun was manufactured in 1964 and comes in its original Purdey lightweight leather motor case. Orginally a 2 1/2" gun, the chambers were lengthened to 2 3/4" (3 1/4 tons) and the gun re-proofed in London in 1986. This high condition self-opener ejector game gun sports 25" barrels and an automatic safety. Gold inlay and engraving by Ken Hunt, finished by Alan Dudley, stocked by Anthony Rule, barrels by Jack Aldous, and actioned by Peter Nelson. 

Happy to answer any questions you may have. A chance to own a truly unique Purdey gun!
