Someone really wanted cast off, didn't they? Didn't George Bird Evans do that to a Purdey?

George lowered and thinned the comb a little but neatly. I have held that Purdey and you wouldn't know it was done. He also shortened the stock later in life. It has had an extension added by the next care taker, that was done very well.
