I was looking for images of 28 ga. headstamps when I ran across this work of art. John

"Purdey, London. Extraordinarily rare best 28ga. self-opening sidelock O/U with factory original extra set of .410ga. Barrels, the set ca. 1992. Weight 5 lbs. 8 oz. with 28ga. Barrels." - Price on request

"Superb custom black ostrich leather covered oak case by Vince Rickards of England. Custom, hand made ivory-handled accessories by Stephen Alexander of Lewis Drake and Associates, USA. All the brass accessories along with all tool ferrules are engraved to match the gun and gold plated. Gun and accessories are all individually French fitted to the case interior by the case maker. There is, in addition, a matching black ostrich leather outer cover to match. The cost of the case and accoutrements alone was approximately $25,000."

Here are 3 of the 23 pics on the site. Don't click on the pic at the top of the site if you're on dial-up because it's huge and crystal clear. I was tempted to put it here, but refrained because of the size.

If it's POR at Drakes then it falls into the "if you have to ask you can't afford it" category.

Breathtaking gun. It proves the adage that "a love of fine shotguns is God's way of saying that you don't make enough money." ;)
