If it is of interest, 18 months ago on was deciding whether to order a Holland or a Purdey double. I visited Purdey and the MD was out at an exhibition and there were no new doubles in the gun room but a young chap was deputising and asked me to wait a moment. He came p and showed me a Purdey double that he had in storage. It was made for HRH Elizabeth II on her coronation and it is her gun, intitials in the gold oval. I don't know if any of her offspring had used it but it looked mint. the calibre was (if memory serves) something like .400-360 ? and the feature I really liked was that apart from the normal iron sights it had a small folding ghost ring at the back. Lovely gun but the downside of that Beesley self opener is the closing, Hell it was tough to shut, best regards, Mike Bailey
