According to Forex.com, One GB Pound Sterling in 1910 would equal 3,241 USD today. So that nice set of three double rifles would set you back 729,225 USD today. Probably much more if it had been owned by spike.t.
Neat seeing the old catalog. Thanks for posting it Edd.

It also puts in better perspective accounts of hunters like Bell returning from a year in the bush and selling his ivory for 600 crowns.
If I have time I am planning to stop in to H&H London next month. If I take in a copy of the catalog page do you think they will honor the 225 GBP price?

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.

Hi EGS
I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
