George Bird Evans Purdey & A H Fox 12 gauges

[Bill Murphy]

Tom, I realized that you had once owned the gun. I would like to find the gun but know that it it a hard search. Thanks so much for posting.

GBE's original Purdey was bequeathed to acquaintances of ours from upstate NY who used to have Old Hemlock Setters. If I remember correctly the wife was a nurse who was with GBE when he passed away. Haven't seen them in at least 8 years so I do not know if they still have that gun.

the time i got to handle it, I believe the Purdey was changing hands to the second post GBE owner. Or at least after it’s restoration
