I also encountered one of his customers at the Imperial meeting at Bisley a few years later. A friend of mine who was acting as range officer on the pistol range beckoned me over saying "you've got to see this".
There was a little Chinese guy at 15 yards shooting a PAA target (gangster target). The chap had on every conceivable type of holster you could imagine. He was like the old Bianchi advert. He would draw a gun and empty it towards the target then let the pistol drop to the floor and pull another pistol from another holster and repeat the process. In all he must have fired over 50 rounds at the target from numerous pistols including a baby Browning.
My mate told me that Tom had sorted him out.

A fat little Chinese guy? Called Victor?

While we were in there a boy came in to buy a gallon of paraffin. His shop was a mixture of gunshop and hardware store.
If you looked at his adverts of him and the professionals arriving at Bisley in a helicopter you would think that his was a massive gun shop.

My now deceased mate Geoff lived the other side of the river from the , Southern Armoury. He always referred to Tom Collins as, the paraffin man. I went there a couple of times in the 70's and he struck me as a miserable sod. Did he not blow him self up once or twice with black powder in the shop? Bowlers was another shop worth a visit back in the pistol owning days.

I bought my first-ever pistol from Tom Collins in 1981. It was a brand new .22 Walther PP Sport with 8" barrel. I had a look at it and pointed out that the extractor was missing... He cursed and went into the back where he robbed another Walther. I was very happy with it for the next 15 years until... But you know the answer to that.

Rigby are in Clapham, worth a visit to see cool stuff. Not worth a visit for any other reasons, sadly

I don't recall a name being mentioned but bearing in mind all the ironmongery he was brandishing it wouldn't surprise me to hear his name was Fuc Yu.
