That would be wonderful. I'd like to know where that Purdey is and how Rich got it. If the gun is Elliot Bell's gun, I can share my reminisces of the man and his hunting with the Purdey. He lived on Quaker Hill in Pawling, NY and was the consummate sportsman. He also gave me his salmon flies. He was a close friend of Governor Thomas E. Dewey who was the Republican candidate for president in 1944 and 1948. Dewey also lived on Quaker Hill and was a friend of my grandfathers. I have hunted both their estates since I was a boy and have fond remanences of both men. Which Rich are you referring to?
