Regards of caliber(almost) that little singleshot by Purdey is a peach. It should be an exceptional set of boobs that could re-direct my attention from this gun.

Its wonderful to see the skill of fine gunmaking is being upheld because there is the interest in ordering among the finest.

Happy year you all.

J.

The gun is a 22 hornet side lock rook rifle. Cost more than the 600 Purdey. I should not mention cost, I am sure this group keeps lots of things private. Luckily I am surrounded by like minded family.

I'm glad you found this thread. There is another thread with some, so far of your 2022 photos. Australian Hunting forum.

I decided it was easier to post your photos for you.

Please comment on the photos.

Thanks for clearing up the calibre quandary. That is a sweet little rifle.

My goodness. Beautiful rifles and guns. In a beautiful setting with great photography!

Garamond rifle racks? Who made the double rifle cradle?

Thank you indeed for sharing.

James Purdey & Sons

Two extremes, indeed we have David and Goliath in the shape of a .600 Nitro Express and a gorgeous little .22 Hornet. Please click on photo for a full length view.

That little Hornet just turns my crank!
What a great little cast bullet shooter it would be.

From 2014.

An Australian friend with his Holland & Holland "Royal" sidelock chambered in the mighty .600 Nitro. As we can see the rifle does the job it was built for. I have been promised more photos soon.

Images coming
