Purdey, Heavy Proof 12 Bore Live Pigeon Gun. Built in 1926. Exceptional Condition. Locks Retain 90% Vivid
case color. Bottom of the receiver is a very pleasing mixture of case color and mottled grey. Barrels
still carry approximately 95-97% rich English blue. Bores are perfect. Wood retains 95% of a well done
oil finish. The gun balances with that lively feel that is common to best grade live pigeon guns.
Gun is a delight to handle. Would make a great gun for high pheasant as well.
