Depending on the brand of shot and the year it was dropped, the #6 loads are in the very high 80s for percentage. Of course, we don't know the range or the diameter of the pattern circle. The proof is in shooting the gun. 90% patterns in a 30" circle at 40 yards are not unheard of.

Well, I guess I'll just have to pattern her.

Are those #6 British #6 or U.S. Tatham? Are the Leader #7 U.S. Winchester shells?
According to the Hallowell & Co. chart, U.S. #7 and British #6 are both .10" and 291 per ounce. According to other charts I have U.S. #7 go 299 per ounce and the one on Vintage Outdoors says 300. |

What a great gun, John. Is there any information about what that gun sold for in 1928?

My 1929 Stoeger catalog lists the Purdey Single Barrel Trap at $750. Of course the real price should be in Guineas.

On the subject of engraving there is Purdeys traditional rose and scroll and then there is every other gun made.
