Link doesn't seem to work for me ?????

Can you give us an insight into what you were looking
at so we could maybe find it ourselves ?

This could be the full link: http://www.armiusate.it/annunci/detail.php?siteid=160038

I don't speak/read Italian but it looks like it says the gun is Purdey Express, external hammer, under lever in 450/400 2-7/8 for 1500 Euro.

That would appear to be way too cheap.

Purdey 450/400 2-7/8" express Double Rifle
Snap Action Jones-type Underlever
Side clips
Island locks with Stalking Safeties
Orig Purdey case (oak with canvas slip cover)
Orig tools

fifteen hundred euros

Is this an announcement for an auction or a rifle for sale?
The case should sell for that or more...

Cheers

Looks to be for sale, not an auction.

It's cheap.

How about I fly over there and buy it. For that price, even throwing in the airfare from the USA, the gun would be a real bargain. Remember the old saying - if it's too good to be true, then it probably is! Buyer beware.

And the same Purdey in different page;

http://www.armes-occasion.com/product_info.php?products_id=444

but not anymore having a no-brainer price tag on it, 1(2)500 euros for this time, with no missing digits.

That's a nice rifle. Very similar to my .500BPE, but a little more elaborately engraved. It would make someone a fine hunting rifle.

I emailed the first web site.

The reply was.

The adverts for guns on it are from just anyone, not the company and you contact the owner directly via whatever method is listed (I didn't look so not sure what methods
are listed).

As someone said, "if it's too good to be true, then it probably is!"

And it's turned out that not all the info is up there
on the first advert !!!

Hehe

Well it did seem a little weird!!!!

I see what has happened, the idiot forgot to put the 2 in when typing the price!!!!

Sorry for the waste of time chaps, for a moment I thought the crisis had really started to have its effect!!!

Anybody want me to mail and get confirmation on the price?

There are lots of other guns on there too.

Ben, If there was a chance that I could get a gun like that for even twice that price, I'd be first in line to purchase it so keep your eyes open for me! Christopher

At 12.500 euro it still looks like a really good deal.

Oddly........

Doubles do come up on this site, last year or rather, a couple of years ago there was a 12 bore in great nick and another dr in 500 express, chap wanted 5000e a piece.

Also, though all I could ever do is copy pics for you lot, the gun mags here have some doubles sometimes AND very affordable spingarda's.....which are punt guns.

Armi mercato is one of the best mags.

Note that on armiusate.it someone is selling a Holland royal double rifle.

How easy is it to bring one of these back to the States? What paperwork needs to be done and how long does it take? I am currently working in Belgium with the expectation of returning to Texas in a month or so.

Thanks,
Eric

Is that addressed to me/from Italy Eric?

Its not that bad, bringing guns in if not pre-1890 examples is a trifle harder! Times vary depending upon gun type and caliber. Let me know and I can find out specifically for you as I must go in to the questura(police head quarters) and find out something myself shortly.

Is there anything interesting in Belgium?

Ben

Hey, if you guys are looking for a good deal on a double, I noticed that Cabela's has the Pedersoli Kodiak Mark IV .45-70 marked down $1,000 to $2,999.88. Seems like a good deal. Here's the link:
