12g Sidelock Ejector by James Purdey & Sons 28 x 2 1/2" barrels
This James Purdey assisted opening gun was built circa 1905/10. It has 28″ x 2 1/2″ replacement chopper lump barrels by the makers who re-stocked it at the same time to a length of 15″. The action and locks are engraved with Purdey’s best rose and scroll and retain some original colour hardening. Opening and closing beautifully, this is an excellent gun which has another hundred years’ worth of use in it. It will also fire standard steel cartridges without alteration.
