My father bought the 2nd C.C. Norris Purdey in the late 1980’s from a United airlines pilot. Can’t remember the serial number. It was not a “woodcock” gun but choked IC/M with 27” barrels. I was the one Bill Murphy mentioned who sold the gun in Maryland. It was sold to Albright’s Gun Shop in Easton, MD in the early 2000’s and from what I understand, was sold again quickly. With the gun a signed copy of C.C. Norris’s book was included along with the Purdey histories letter. I do remember the gun being manufactured in 1927.
