All said and done, I have no issue disclosing the price... providing I can still remember it, and in this case I found it in my purchase log on the Saleroom website.
It was 1500 GBP (hammer price) + charges, and I got it from Bonhams, on 27 November 2019.

Now I have a question of my own: why would be rude to ask about the price?!

I noticed on multiple occasions that asking about the price of an item was somehow considered "tabu" subject but I do not understand why?!

One thing you should understand is that discussion of prices is better expanded by means of private message; not in discussion forums.

OK, I'll try one last time: Marius indicated the retailer and - with tongue in cheek - I asked if he knew the price also: THE PRICE IN THE 1700s, NOT TODAY'S PRICE.
Marius understood the humour and told me he had lost the receipt...
it was a joke between us.
