Mike,

Pictures were down for a moment due to the photo host updating there server last night. Please enjoy them now.



Jabal,

No plans on selling. I'm just a hunter, and collector of fine guns. The 369 is very rare, especially in this condition. Most of them have been re-chambered to 375H&H, and it's the ruination of a fine double.

Sinner

You are indeed sinful and inspire others to be, lust, greed and envy!

Lovely rifles, and thanks very much for posting them.

A few years ago I stopped in at Champlins and handled a Purdey double rifle. What a magnificent piece of workmanship.

Sinner, your collection is particularly nice. They are tastefully adorned. These fine machines need not be a canvas for artistry. They are sublime in form alone.

This makes me wonder. We, signally, must be the largest "group" of DR collectors. I think we once did a count a few years back.

Mike Bailey & Roscoe,

I’m sorry guys. I don’t know why you two can’t see the pictures, and the other members can. Are you on dial up for your internet perhaps, as the file may be to big for your computers cache? Let me know if I can help somehow.



Peter, John, Mehulkamdar, Nakihunter, hoppdoc, and Blair..

Thank you for all of your kind comments, my hope was that you all would enjoy seeing these in the "line up".

Sinner,

There's nothing there at all.

I have a broadband connection.

When I click on the box with a red "x" where your picture is supposed to be it opens a new window with the URL

http://allyoucanupload.webshots.com/v/2002202308512494388

which comes up as nothing.

Guess I'll just sit this one out.

They loaded up for me yesterday. If they do again I will see about copying them to the NE server. The graphics file is one big picture (I think).

Those are exceptionally beautiful guns Sinner. If I were you, I'd probably keep them next to me in bed at night, and let my wife sleep on the floor!

Thanks for posting them for us to enjoy.

I guess my computer, browser, internet security, or whatever is keeping me safe and warm. I still get nothing here on the thread here.

BUT much to my delight I awoke this morning to find that Sinner had graciously sent me his photos by email so I could join in the fun. Thanks!

I am taking the liberty to post the photos that Sinner sent me.



Maybe this will help some others like me who are having trouble seeing the photograph.

Thanks Sinner,
Curl

Sinner,

I never forget a face.

Am I correct that the .369 Purdey is the same as the rifle featured here in this thread?

.369 Purdey

I had the pleasure to handle that rifle when it was in the hands of Steve Barnett at the 2006 Vintage Cup. What a beautiful rifle!

I sold the gun to Barnett, he sold it to Jeff Wemmer, and I traded Jeff for it back.

It's a small world, and the guns go round and round between a few of us sometimes.

Jabal,

Here's the details.

James Purdey & Sons, London. A virtually new and unused “Best Quality” pre-war self-opening sidelock double rifle in .369 Purdey Nitro Express, completed in 1942 for the Maharajah of Mysore. The richest and most prevalent Royal of the famous India Empire. Weight: 9lbs. 2ozs. Stock dimensions: 14 5/8” LOP. 25” chopper lump steel barrels have a quarter rib with a single fixed 50 yd. rear sight and two folding leaves for 100 yds. and 200 yds. Superb reinforced Purdey self-opening action has a long top tang extending back up and over the comb of the highly figured walnut stock. Purdey hidden third fastener, side clips, bushed firing pins, ejectors, double triggers, and bolted safety. Stunning full coverage Purdey rose and scroll engraving on a case hardened receiver.

The whole is cased with factory polished oak and leather, all horn handled tooling, fully documented provence from Purdey’s, and related informations on the Maharajah of Mysore in outstanding detail in binder form.

Sinner,

Thanks for posting. What can I say that others haven’t? They’re gorgeous.

Any chance of posting pictures of the Boss rifles referred to in the attached post?

Armbar.

Ambar,

Thank you.

I sold the two Boss & Co DR's your referring to in January 08'. Bob Lee from Hunting World purchased them at SCI this year from me. I do have pictures, however, I no longer own the guns, and have to respect the new owner may not want them posted on the net.

Hope all is well in your world.


Cheers.

Then your "hope" is certainly fulfilled. Just pulling your leg, Sinner. Thanks for taking the time to share pictures of your rifles. They are incredible works of beauty. True works of art!

Good hunting!
