As a Sapper and Ex AES Handler from 39 Bde, I'll cough up £150. Only because its a good cause and I want to see if its possible that a pish stained, tartan blanket wearing, incontinent, auld fart Handler from one of the Handbag Brigades can actually sign his name after years of buckfast and toilet duck chasers without using an ink pad and his thumb or relying on his dog for help. Ubique ;)

Sapper 145 that's very generous of you, whatever your motive
And this you can see is the bolt. The purpose of this
Is to open the breech, as you see. We can slide it
Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
They call it easing the Spring.
They call it easing the Spring: it is perfectly easy
If you have any strength in your thumb: like the bolt,
And the breech, and the cocking-piece, and the point of balance,
Which in our case we have not got; and the almond-blossom
Silent in all of the gardens and the bees going backwards and forwards,
For today we have naming of parts.

Still at £150. Unlikely to pay the dogfood bill!
