Would that ever be an early number!!!
Alan,
The link doesn't work. This would be a verrry interesting number for an early Long Branch, and a sniper to boot. All serial numbers I've seen to date for the early ones don't have the "0" to the right of the L. I wonder if this extra 0 was added by an overzealous armorer.
That number is for a Canadian No.7 .22 rifle...I'll bet a pint of "Spitfire" or "Newcastle Brown" on it.
There was a few odd snipers made up out of the accepted range but having some of the numbers, I can assure you that the 0L0389 is a No.7 chest
Saved auction pics for posterity for member research .. ;)
Regards,
Doug

Shipping and packing At Cost
Estimated Shipping North America $50.00 - $85.00
Location Dependent
Europe $ 65.00- 95.00
Just one question, would the "buy now" price be a good move this early or would you "roll the dice"?
BINGO !!!!! No.7 chest. Shipping on that thing.... anywhere, even in Canada will gag a maggot.
I think to Europe the price will be around 150 to 200. I checked at one time as I was going to send one to an old mate in the UK...
Nice thought while it lasted........
Silly price, I agree. But the Gents that have the bucks to shell out the going price for an orig sniper would regard $400 as pocket change in the event that chest were for a 4T.
