The more this thread matures, the less sense it makes. Everyone is familiar with Norris' gifting of his Purdey (2-bbl. set??) to GBE. Where did "pheasant gun" and "quail gun" enter the vernacular inventory? Were they the Norris Purdey as gifted (pheasant) then the quail gun (as GBE opened the chokes via Ken Eyster)?? Not to mention the "woodcock gun" - " a light, nearly chokeless one barrel gun". Sounds like a cylinder-bored Browning A-5 16 ga. autoloader to me, but knowing the personae involved, I would seriously doubt it. What auction house? When? Where? Someone needs to use a pulley suture in this discussion and inter-relate what is being talked about. Few if any of the cross-comments make sense or give those of us who might know more a clue as to what is being sought here.
