We visited the famous gunmaker long ago (1993). They were very patient and courteous to a young chap obviously not in a position to buy a gun.

Brian, if you see a nice island lock hammer gun -- preferably a 16 bore, slip it in your suitcase and we can settle up at the Southern.

I visited there even longer ago, and was also treated quite courteously. Sir Richard himself showed me a 28-bore they could finish up in my dimensions for twenty-eight thousand pounds, about $56,000 at the time.

What?! No photos of your 28 bore?

I could not afford that then...or now... (but wish I could!)
