If you post some high resolution photos of all makings and the total rifle and scope then people will probably give you a pretty good indication.

Deer Hunter,
I am sure there will be some interest at the right price.
If you could put up the numbers on the action showing the S and the Pinned scope side with the serial numbers on the scope and the bracket, wrist and the S51 I am sure that would suffice. Is it a Maltby?

As said, post some detailed photo's, but if you've owned it 25 years, it's most likely real anyway, as 25 years ago there was no real need or demand to repro them, as nice ones could be had for relatively little money!
Different world a quarter of a century later!
If matching numbers, and original scope to rifle match, and with Transit chest and internal items, then it's been a good investment on what you paid for it 25 years ago.

Yes, let us have a few photo's with reference to the body side wall, butt socket, & a view showing the body pads with the scope OFF as well as on. You'll then be up to your neck in useful information!

Matching numbers, transit chest and potentially the rest of the CES, it sounds all rather promising!! If only the two spare .303 slots on my licence where backed by sufficient funds in my bank account...

Micheal, maybe have a look at this one - not cheap but may be affordable?

It's certainly not excessive for these beasts, looks a good buy. I've just sold two; one for a little under 4k & one for a little over.
