This probably belongs in the relevant Chapter folder, but I don't live in Russia.

There's a shop now in Ekaterinburg (last home of the last Tsar) that is subcontracting bespoke orders to Denman & Goddard of London, who send cutters over every few months or so. D&G do all the work and have their price and cost handled directly by the shop. A somewhat different model from the normal road show, but a sensible one for Denman given the risks of the new venture.

Well, not sure if Czar Nick II would have called it home... considering he and his family were shot, bayoneted and bludgeoned there.

Is this the same shop mentioned recently in the Economist as carrying Lobb (Paris)? I bet it is].
