A smart card player always carries his, or her, own cards. This pack features hand drawn Purdey gun engravings. The royal cards are jacks, queens and kings holding pieces from the Purdey archive and each royal has its own pattern. The cards are bridge size and made from heavyweight board with a silk laminate finish.
You can buy them from here for 7,50 £. I wasn't able to find pictures of the court cards but if I read the description right they should be different guns. Or court cards holding different guns...? Not sure.

I dream of a world where wars are fought only by having dance offs. I also dream that a Finnish playing card designer would exist. The former seems more likely to happend.

Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a penguin. Have you ever met a sad person with a penguin?

Quite nice. But 40 pounds for shipping to Canada. If I add-on the MACNAB FOLDING KNIFE DISCOVERY BOX for £39,975.00, the shipping is free.

Those backs are quite empty, imo.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.
