Bill and Charlie, in the premier edition of Guns and Ammo magazine in the early fifties, there was a story about Robert Stack's purchase of his new Purdey. The price was about $1280. Times change. Shooter's Bible shows many prices of English guns in the late 40s and early to mid 50s. Charlie, if you outlive me, I will instruct Linda to ship my 14 pound eight gauge Greener Royal to your address. It is nitro proofed for 3 3/4" shells. I have never tried a stick of dynamite in it to see if it chambers.
