A best quality James Purdey Double Barrel 12 GA Percussion Pigeon Gun S/N 5558. Best bouquet and scroll engraved bolted front action locks signed “Purdey”. 30 ¼” Damascus barrels with center rib and engraved platinum blowout plugs. Made without a provision for ramrod as a pigeon gun. Ultra-highly figured walnut half stock. Engraved breech tang marked “1”. Silver name escutcheon engraved with a baronet's crown and initials. Purdeypigeon guns are rare. The condition is worn from extended use. The barrels have minor pitting throughout. The locks are good with good engraving and maker’s signature. Hammers are superbly engraved as befits a “BestGun”. The action is good and crisp. The nipples are not mashed. The stock has worn checkering but stunning figure. A letter from Purdey will undoubtedly reveal the identity of the original owner and price. (Antique)Est.: $1500-$2000
