This statement aroused my curiosity regarding the price of a Dickson vs other markers:
"...a Dickson Round Action was a premium luxury item."
In 1935, a single Dickson Patent Round Action cost 120. This is according to the Dickson catalog reprinted in Dallas's book.
1938, Abercrombie & Fitch quoted the following prices (all F.O.B. London):
-Boss Hammerless Ejector Over Under: 157-10-0
-H&H Model de Luxe: 157-10-0
-Purdey Hammerless Ejector "Featherweight" 12 gauge: 136-10-0
-Woodward Best Quality Double Barrel Gun: 126-0-0
-Churchill Premier Quality Doube Barrel: 120-0-0
