The one time I visited London, my friend Max who is Indian was taking me around and I wanted to go see Purdey and H & H. At Purdey, Sir Richard Beaumont himself showed me a 28-gauge that they could finish up in my dimensions for 28000 pounds. Very polite to a visiting Yank that I'm sure he realized wasn't going to be buying a Purdey. I didn't remember the gentleman's name at H & H but he and Max realized they were of the same sect and I had the run of the place!
