The Doctor Norris article reminds me that I missed the Norris "Woodcock Gun", a great lightweight Purdey that was in a retail store and now is in the wind. A PGCA member once owned it and let it go. I'm not sure he knew what he had. I didn't buy it for about half of what it was worth, even without the Norris provenance. I'll be ready if I ever get my "second chance". Dean Romig gave me a bitch slap for letting it go. At the time I didn't even own a Purdey so there was no excuse.
