This could be about the most aethetically pleasing guns I have ever seen. How much would it cost now to buy this old gun?

It was probably advertised on the Westley Richards website so check there if it is still there for a price.
Certainly out of the reach of my wallet.
I posted the photos here as an example of a very nice double rifle as a permanent record.

What no picture can ever depict is the smell of the degraded gun oil on the stock and metalwork that has oaked into the case lining- simply wonderful 
If only that smell could be bottled into modern oils !
That is one good looking rifle - here in the U.K the price on such a rifle would be in the bracket of £23,000 - £30,000 at a guess

Indeed, I concur. The scent of a fine older gun surely impacts the price tag, too. And I can see the justification, too.
I am puting that Purdey on my wish list!
