I went there in, as I recall, September 1986, and likewise was treated as nice as could be. Richard Beaumont himself showed me a little 28-gauge they could finish up to my dimensions for 28,000 pounds. In looking at the price tag on a 28-gauge Purdey at The Vintage Cup last fall, it would have been a good investment!!
My friend in London at that time is of Indian descent and just happened to be of the same sect(?) as the gentleman managing the used gun room at H & H, so I got free rein there as well.
