Sir:
Jeffery is an honored name in British gunmaking. Superb craftsmanship. The gun you refer to is an excellent buy. To start your education on Jeffery, you might start here:

The 2 inch 12 is a wonderful cartridge. I have a Purdey light game gun and use RST 3/4 oz paper shells in it. It's kinda like a step back in time and it's the only 12 I hunt with.

Pics? I would dearly love to own a Purdey, but do not believe it is in the cards. Heck I am debating just the relatively low price of the Jeffery I am looking at.
