Fultons of Bisley - old catalog

£250 was a substantial sum at the time, but it's still the same amount today.


I gather that some years ago the NRA asked the Palace if they might consider increasing it, and got a frosty reply to the effect that "We understood that it was the honour of Our prize that was being completed for, not the monetary value".
