That ain't the original mount for that rifle. However it does illustrate the point I mentioned......... If THAT mount came with the rifle from
England, then THAT mount sported a UK made telescope. QED!
Could it be possible since it was a late production rifle that it was shipped without a scope and they fitted it with one when it arrived?

Before my time but a fellow collector recounted a surplus shop many moons ago, in Calgary had barrel of snipers and pile of scopes in the tins on a table across the room. They were sold separately!
You picked a rifle from the barrel and IF you wanted put down a few extra dollars for a scope you walked over to the table and grabbed a tin from the pile...
How times have changed.

As I noted in the thread about the 90L serial numbers, Jawes has this scope (227C) incorrectly paired with another rifle (90L8115). However, Peter Laidler noted that scope in service with the bracket for 90L8212. I am assuming Jawes has a mk3 scope with that serial.
