Thanks Mike,
yes, it has the third bite and an almost Prince-of-Wales pistol grip, though that has never occurred to me as particularly Continental. The engraving pattern (I've alway kidded myself) is more Purdey than H&H, which more often borders on the Tueutonic. It was my father's gun - the only reason I have not had it restocked with a straight hand already.

Cheers
