London gunmakers like J. Purdey and Sons are to shotguns what Savile Row tailors are to suits. In business since 1814, Purdey's specializes in "bespoke" guns made to a customer's measure. Order one new and you can expect to pay the price of a small house and wait two years for your gun to be finished.
Matched pairs like these two guns are for high-speed shooting when the birds fly thick. A loader stands close behind the shooter, ready to take his Lordship's empty gun and hand him a loaded one.
Price: $120,000 (pair)
Gauge: 12- like driving a Morgan********
- Around here we simply send the slaves out to catch the birds.boobs
- or buying a bottle from Massandra: expensive but undrinkable********
