Walker570 Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 Wow!!! That much. I remember my birthday present back in 1952 and my grandfather gave me a Parker Hale conversion to 410. I believe he paid 10 guinees for it. That is £10..10 shillings or a £10..50p in todays money. Couldn't hit a bull up an entry with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the early 80's as a young lad I vaguely recall paying around a 'fiver' for my first BSA Meteor, was on £10 a day 'putting up' spuds on a local farm. Those were the days!

Tony Morris. In 1962 I almost doubled my wage to that a week when I joined the police force !!!! Yes it was a fair bit of cash back then and a great present.
