I’ve never regretted a fair warning. What a fantastic group of collectors on this site. I learn more every day. And as a relatively new member, I look forward to meeting others in Kennedyville in September.

I believe that European guns did not have proof marks before 1891, could be wrong but believe this to be true, Gary

Is a Purdey as good as a Parker ? Parkers are pretty nice and stand up to a lot of use.

Are these Purdey shot guns as good as a Parker?

In a similar sense, one might ask:
Is a Bond Street suit as good as one from Men's Warehouse? Is an Aston Martin as good as a Ford F-150? Is Shakespeare as good as James Petterson? Essentially, the comparisons have no basis to begin with. A Purdey and a Parker are both shotguns. End of similarities. |

See ! I knew you would know the fine points!
We don’t have Aston Martin cars out here, maybe that’s why I bought a new Ford F-150 a couple years ago, that and it handles mud and snow well , and I can load my bird dogs in it. There is no Bond Street in town but maybe I can mail order one of their suits. Our local library carries Shakespeare books. We are pretty fancy out here in fly over country. And we have lots of wild birds. |
