I chased my dream Purdey for fifty years, let a half dozen great guns slip by either because I was too slow or the gun was too expensive. Then, a few years ago, the perfect Purdey appeared in a gun store just a few miles from my home. It had every feature I could have wanted and in high condition. To add a final feature, it was cheap, way cheap. I could have had a very acceptable Purdey years earlier, but it didn't matter. I now have the perfect example I have waited for. I would like to have some of the ones I missed, and I will try to own them if I have the chance, but they will be more than I would pay. I have my eye on the perfect mate for my Purdey, but it is priced $40,000 higher than mine cost. I will never own this second gun.
