Can anyone remember the Soldiers Three shop that sold Model Guns? It was 'down South' somewhere but, even though I did the long trip down there twice, I can't remember where it was. I bought the first Hudson PPSh41 to arrive in the country, ditto the S&W M75 and the first 2 Metal Automags. I spent like a drunken sailor in those days. Just reminiscing and hate it when all of the pieces aren't in place. Merry Christmas!!

There was a shop in Carshalton near Croydon in Surrey that rings a bell with me..

Yes, that sounds like it. Croyden. I had to get a coach from Wales and then a train from London and on foot for a long way is all I really remember.

Just had a look at a map and the shop would have been in Manor Road, Wallington..

Yes, Manor Road. The first time I got there I was busting for a pee and asked if I could use their toilet. They refused and sent me half a mile (it seemed) up the road to a pub. If I hadn't have travelled so far I would have told them to stuff their guns!
