So this is obviously not a Purdey, as it never was a Bar in Wood, never had a Third grip and is of the wrong time! The "by Purdey" inscription is obviously spurious, and the "J.Stanton GL maker" part may have been copied by an Asiatic artist from another gun too. Stanton usually signed his locks on the inside only! The whole outside inscription reminds me of the many crude "WAU?ER" pistols I have seen.
