Re: Your preference - new best quality or vintage?

I should have been more clear! My desire runs to the back action, or island locks too, but with a top lever. And 450 Express 3 1/4".

I would also drool over a shotgun so fitted. And with ejectors. I recall seing a photo of a trio of Purdeys, owned once upon a time by Lord Ripon, perhaps the finest game shot of all time; beyond beautiful! Long 30" barrels, fantastic wood, excellent leather pads, top levers, back action island locks and ejectors. All still in fabulous shape, with no wear visible, IIRC all original. The Holy Grail. There was an accompanying photo showing six dead pheasants, all still in the air!

Beautiful guns you pictured. Your? What are they?
