I checked out the site with those 21 commemorative M6's. One of the models
was the Royal Photographic Society commemorative.
Late in Y2K I picked up a commemorative Olympus Mju (Stylus) made for the
100th anniv. of the RPS. Came with special box with notation that it was
the RPS commemorative. Seller informed me that the Queen was given one.
Price? Considerably less then what the M6 commemorative sold for.
