The Purdey-Woodward style sidelock action is fitted with a single triple-pull trigger. Engraved by master engraver Rashid El Hadi each detail, meticulously engraved onto the coin-finished surfaces of the gun, tells a story of the hunt with unparalleled elegance and precision through fantasy-style game scenes with supporting bold relief foliate scrolls and bird grotesques.
