Great gun, bet you can not wait to shoot it !!! Probably a James Woodward design , known for perfect balance, the trigger design, and single barrel trap gun. I do not remember the year in the 40's that Purdey purchased Woodward, but both produced BEST QUALITY guns.

Enjoy ,good shooting, your friend from Vermont

The sideplate on the right side of the gun is interesting and makes for great symmetry. I have a Sauer SBT that is a sidelock and it only has the plate on the functioning side, all wood on the other.
