Useful to recal some retail prices from 1970, when Darne shotguns first came to Britain.
A new R10 was 110 pounds
A Webley and Scott 156
A baikal IZ27 78
A Remington 1100 90.
All the above new at Whaley's Gun Shop in Hornsey road (not far from Diggory Hadoakes later residence)
At the same time at Praed Street Paddington there was a used Dickson Round Action at 150 pounds.
Did not buy any of the above. I opted for a used Franchi Al48 at 75 opunds, which I hunted twice, it jammed solid after few shots. I sold it at the Praed St shop but the Dickson was long gone by then.
