An old receipt for a fine gun

Here's a thing. Most of you will not be particularly interested in this but it's right up my street. The other day, during a visit to the old family home, my father said that he had come across the receipt for the John Wilkes side-by-side shotgun that he bought back in 1964. Naturally, now that I am the owner of the fine fitting and superbly fast gun, I immediately took ownership of the document which I reproduce here for the benefit of the one, perhaps, reader interested in such old ephemera.

John Wilkes still operate today in London

I've been told that the written over postage stamp in the bottom left of the receipt is something that was provided on many receipts of old, though I am not sure what it is there for.

Imagine my surprise when I realised the Wilkes was bought second hand. Naturally my father still retains the bought-from-new William Evans.

Heh, it turns out that Tim is the one interested reader. Mind you, he reads everything.
