Purdey London
Was in London earlier this week and popped into Purdey’s on S Audley Street. Haven’t been there for 20 or so years and a lot of things have changed. Primarily the prices. Least expensive gun is an O/U for £38,000 (had none on display) Least expensive gun on display was £60,000 (used) and most expensive £95,000 (new). Sales of O/U vs SxS is 50/50. Only sell fiber wad shells. Box of 25 Bismouth cost £35. Cost of a SxS restock £20,000. New barrel for existing gun £30,000. For those that are interested, £1=$1.31. I did leave with a new Purdey catalog (free) and a pheasant design scarf for my wife’s birthday £315. I hope she likes it.
