Thanks - we are too! As yours is a good early example, would you mind posting a close up of the range drum please? We are thinking that there are some variations in the way they are made and marked that could be interesting. ATB, D.

I will, but it will be a minute! I'm about 400 miles away from that rifle at the moment finishing up a Navy school for the next month and change.
Looking for something else I found this one: Hermann Historica - Internationales Auktionshaus für Antiken, Alte Waffen, Orden und Ehrenzeichen, Historische Sammlungsstücke . Maybe it is already on the list, if not, then add it.
I finally made it home, so here are some photos of the range drum, as requested.

Forgive the question Joshua, but did the scope arrive with those Purdey rings already on it?
You have a couple of very nice rifles.
Thanks! Yes, it did.
I’ll try to get more detailed pictures of each scope but for now here are all of my Aldis scopes. The top two are likely patterns 2/3 and the third down looks to be pattern 4 and the longer one at the bottom is commercial if I’m not mistaken.
