Looking at different purdey prices and they are all over of the place.

This one at Champlins is a 1930´s 400Ne (the great era of double rifles) great maharaja provenance, great condition . Bad side short lop and not so common caliber. But usually these rifles can go 3-4-5-6 times the asking price at champlins 28 800 usd. I don't say its a low price but why are this rifle not valued higher ?

Its super short in the stock but other than that I'm not sure.

It is not chambered in .400NE but .400 Purdey

Not a DG cartridge by any means.

The .400 Purdey is a very anemic round..

so this rifle in 470NE and a normal sized stock would sell for ?

most likely 40ish +

The 400"Light" is light weight cartridge...if youll pardon the pun!
Great Deer and Boar rifle,there are some report s of Tiger shooting with this cartridge, but not for me.
The Cartridge, and the stock length( sometimes made for women or boys) also holds it back, otherwise alot of double rifle for the price, which is IMHO USD20-25K

Same rifle in 470 60-70K...depending on all the usual markers

I blame the lettering on the the gold oval

That round is anemic. Just ask that dead tiger
