While I hesitate to concede that I'm average, I am, nonetheless, a Purdey owner. Still, mine wasn't cheap.
The price of the one quoted here can be given some perspective from the Historical Currency Conversions site:
"850 dollars in 1939 had the same buying power as 14,533.67 current dollars."
Today, a new Purdey will set you back about ten times that.
Nothing, it appears, is linear.
