I knew these came from you David but how did you come up with them? They make a nice conversation piece Purdey barrels on a Parker and at 28 inches choked M/F they make a good set for pheasants and sporting clays.

They were a second set of barrels on a gun Mid South Guns sold. I purchased them from Phillip and added them to my barrerl collection. One day I figured I had enough invested in stray barrels to but a nice Parker so ended up selling them to Jay and the rest to Tom Carter and Dave Fjettine. Only barrel left is a OO 28ga repro.

I'd like to learn the history behind these. I wonder who commissioned Purdey to make them and why them and not Parker. Another mystery in the complex world of Parker guns.
