And it's in the typically better-than-the-described condition than the descriptions they provided! Nice acquisition, and I'm so glad to hear this ended well. Not so glad that I decided not to bid against many of you based on the descriptions! Thanks for sharing such a nice rifle.

You describe it as a "snap" action. Wasn't that a Purdey version of the Jones underlever in which the lever closes under its own power? I've shot a Purdey hammerless .450 BPE double with this type of action and was curious if this rifle operated similarly. You simply lifted the barrels and the underlever snapped back around to close.

Uniquely superlative rifles in the Scottish tradition.
