Back around 1995 or so I went into Purdey in London and gave them the serial number of this rifle. I was told that it was finished in 1942. I asked the salesman if this was as good a rifle as the pre war models. (thinking that all the good craftsmen would be involved in the War and only young apprentices and old retired guys would be around to do such a nonessential task) The silence was thick and cold.

"Of course it as good, it's a Purdey"

He then became very busy dusting and straightening and had no more time to talk.

As to why I sold it. Sometimes you pay so little for something that a good offer makes it seem silly to keep it. Particularly if you don't use it.

When I had it the rifle shot very well. 3 shots under 1 1/2" and dead on at 100 yards. The rifle was re regulated by Paul Roberts and when I sold it there were 3 boxes of his handloads left and a target.
