About this title

Synopsis

This magnificent book details the history of James Purdey & Sons, the British gunmaker universally respected and known the world over as makers of the finest quality guns. The author includes several appendices including serial numbers for the years 1816 to 2000 to assist with dating guns, as well as production figures to show the rarity of each. All patents are described, plus the Purdey gunmakers named to help identify initials stamped on the parts. Illustrated with over 130 color plates and 300 black & white plates and drawings, most never before published. With a PURDEY bookplate. Signed by the Author.

Store Description

The Dyfi Valley Bookshop was established by Barbara Beeby in 1988 in a conservation area of the ancient market town of Machynlleth, mid-Wales. It has a relaxing atmosphere, a wood burner in winter, and a friendly black labrador, Lochie. We have a large general stock in addition to the specialist subject matter listed on this page. The town itself is very attractive and well worth a visit, situated as it is in the lovely valley of the river Dyfi (Dovey) which runs through the hills to the Irish Sea at Aberdyfi nine miles away. Owain Glyndwr established the first Welsh parliament here in 1404, and the building still stands. Why not pay us a visit? You won't regret it.
