Have paid a little over 20,ooo pound for a pair. The engraver who handled my battery of 9 purdeys matched the pistols to the purdeys in engraving style. I started buying new guns when I realised that used guns were 20 times dearer (up or down a little or a lot ) than someone paid new for them. One should never debate someone’s reasoning to pay the high price for a best gun. That someone creates the opportunity for the next owner to pay up to 20 times the new price paid when new and be satisfied they have a gun that is affordable to them. We need to focus on being part of a circle that we all love to play a part in.
