Always interested in any of Sousa's guns. I'm especially curious as to where the Purdey ended up. I am going over to the U.K. in August with the wife to visit her folks. We plan on spending a day or two in London. I'm hoping to visit Purdey and perhaps see the Long Room. If the visit goes well, I may ask to see the ledger with the order information. I know that he ordered it in 1911. London will be quick, as we are actually headed up to Durham County. Other than Purdey, Holland & Holland and the Tower of London, which are planned, any other must see gun rooms?
