"The Best Gun in the World"

[Harry Collins]

Bill, as a follow up on those awkward Purdey's, my friend could not shoot them well. He took them to Abercrombie's with his complaint. They told him the guns were too short and added checkered buffalo horn to the stock at a cost of some $800. This was in the early 1980's. I wrote and told him it would be ok just send the guns to me and I would reimburse the $800. I never received the guns. Harry

$80,000 Purdeys are generally wonderful guns, almost as good as a nice #1 frame DH Parker.
