WR PAPE, NEWCASTLE ON TYNE, BLE, 2 3/4", 28" choked IC/IMod. 14 5/8" moderately figured wood to checkered butt. Crisp, fine English banner and scroll engraving makes this action pop and is amplified by the floral, full coverage engraving adorning the beautifully carved fences. Six and a half pounds in a period case with cleaning accessories and makers label only add to this top drawer boxlock. A rare find indeed from the Purdey of the North.
