It would be a real treat to have the southern PGCA contingent at Ernies.

That gun is so elegant it looks like you should be wearing a coat and tie when you shoot it. Congratulations on finding and acquiring it.

I've been communicating back and forth with Purdey and they looked up the pattern recorded for this gun and provided the following info:
Schultze, 47grns, 1 1/4oz. No. 6: Patterns 256 EC, 37 grains, 1 1/4oz. No. 6: Patterns 255 "Leader", 1 1/4oz. No. 7: Pattern 330 Appears the gun was built to handle a pretty stout load.

All the Brit pigeon guns and single traps are proved for 1 1/4 ounces. It was the standard ATA load at the time these single barrel guns were first made. and the standard flyer load to this day. John, I had you pegged for this gun before you told me about it. As far as period of manufacture and rarity goes, the single is probably in the same category as the "bar in iron" late generation hammer pigeon gun. Again, congratulations.

John you should do a side by side (pun intended) comparison of the Purdey SBT and one of your fine Parker SBT guns. I for one have never shot either, but I bet it would be an interesting read getting your thoughts on how the guns differ, the pros and cons of both etc. It would make a fine Parker Pages article.
