Where can you find information about a 12 gauge quality hammer gun incribed E J Purdy not Purdey Superfine Laminated Steel on damacus barrels Oxford St London?

You already know it is not a $20,000 Purdey. Many gunmakers in the late 1800's used tradenames close to famous manufacturers in the hopes of duping unsophisticated buyers in the US. We find those interesting, and some are actually pretty well made.

Where can you find information about a chrome Belgian 12 gauge laminated steel double barrel with Richard stamped by the hammers?
Your gun was made between 1880 and 1914, probably by Henri Pieper. If the name is actually Rickard (with a K instead of an H), it was probably retailed by J A Rickard Co of Schenectady, NY. Chrome and laminated barrels don't belong on the same gun. Except for a few custom-made shotguns, laminated barrels were not produced after the 1920s and chrome was not used until the 1940s. The plating was added after manufacture. I must have been short of sleep when I posted that. The finish is probably a nickel plating which would be appropriate for a firearm of this age.
What is value of Sam Holt Arms 10 GA double barrel with outside hammers Has dog on side Belgian laminated steel barrels Breech loaded also have original ammo for it?
It would be most foolish to fire this gun. Laminated barrels are also called Damascan barrels and have been known to corrode and weaken where you can't see the damage. This was aggravated by the black powder shells in use at the time the gun was new. Modern smokeless powder has much higher pressures. The barrels can blow up. You are best to hang this gun on the wall and never use it again.
