You girls need to get out more. Fortunately I worked in Mayfair for over two years and try as I may I couldn't teach them to speak Kentuckian. That was 46 years ago, but I can still understand their butchered speech. I had a sleeved Parker and it did feel "lumpy." A doctor friend of my parents was given a cased Woodward. It rested in the closet for years and his wife gave it to the painter. All these gun shops were a lunch time walk from my office on North Audley. Purdy's was a bit uppity to young Americans. Holland and Holland was the best. They had glassed cases to view all manner of their guns and the staff was very forgiving of my obvious lack of wealth. Rigby was on Pall Mall and they too had guns on display, but it was tiny compared to H&H. I don't think I was making more than $6,000 a year, but that kind of money would have filled your cabinet with fine guns and rifles then.
