Bruce, That is a great find! I like the Jones rotary action and it looks like it is in fantastic shape.

I got a Purdey under similar circumstances. It is an 1866 Thumb break action. It was at a Dealer for several years and then went to auction. I got it for just under 1/2 what the dealer was asking. It is well used and has some wear, but I am in the club!

I did get the letter, which I thought was worth it. I don't shoot mine enough, it is a wonderful in that respect. It is hard not to fall in love with English guns after seeing how well they were made even in the 1860s.

Congratulations again and post more pictures when you get the letter.
