Late 60's early 70's I was buying Webley pistols at about £18.00, was offered a couple of nickle plated ones at £25.00 but considered it too expensive.

This BSA cost me £3, 60 years ago, my wage as an apprentice at Vauxhall was £5 per week. You could walk around the streets with a rifle or shotgun with no gun bag in those days. Just bought two similar for £150 and £200 respectively.

It might sound cheap compared to today's prices but as you say compared to a weekly wage, well it's a sizeable chunk of your income at the time. Got to have really wanted it to shell out that kind of money.Originally Posted by Benelli B76
