Homer McCoy, the shotgun editor for the sixties Guns and Ammo magazine, had some very interesting double guns, among them a Ken Hunt engraved and inlaid Purdey 12 bore with a Hydro Coil stock. A very good picture of this gun and McCoy's outrageous sidelock Westley Richards, Lytton McKenzie inlaid .410 is in the 1969 Guns and Ammo Annual. The value of the Purdey and the Westley at the time were represented at the time at $5500 and $4500 respectively. Wow.
