Weight 6lb. 12oz., 13¾in. pull, 30in. barrels, approx. cyl. & ½ choke, 2½in. chambers, nitro reproof
In its brass-mounted oak and leather case
The gun was completed circa 1890 and appears to have been very little used. Purdey guns of this type are not common and, despite its grade designation, gun No. 13585 is of exceptional quality and incorporates the finest quality damascus barrels
