. . . "or I could be wrong". Let me check if this was off the top of an empty head. Maybe Bonehill. I'll get back to you.

Do you actually understand the Brum trade? In a highly stratified society based on birthright, everyone can't be at the top and certainly not temporarily altho maybe some simple plutocrats crash their way in. Given that the fluidity of the Gatsby/climber scenario was suppressed and the occasion, acreage, and birds to show off the "best gun" also limited, why wouldn't the price point for a civil servant or some third or fourth son who's bought a commission in India matter as much to the trade as the high end?
