    No 32 Mk 1 Scope, (£1600)

    Did any members see or were watching this on ebay, a 1941 No32 Mk1 scope which sold for £1600 item No220565136540 , can understand the price IF it had the bracket, but for just the scope !!!!

    For the winning bidder to pay so much, he or she must have the rifle waiting for it.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    I can depend on the rareity of the maker and like you say, potentially a rifle with its name on it, plus we all keep forgetting 5% of the population is so wealthy cost has no bearing what so ever, for the rest of it must be the scarcity of the brain cells 'common sensitus', or a dose of 'enfield must haveitus'. I get that one a lot, british blood lines make for a genetic weakness.
    I seem to remember about 2006/7 T's were worth much more in parts than as a whole rifle.

    My mistake (or Ian Skennertonicon,s) Page 231 in the bible of Enfields, KL is under the makers A.K & S who are, A. Kershaw & sons.
    Would the Maker Kodak Ltd make it worth £1600

    Not only Ske4nnerton made a mistake but I did too. Kodak were based in Hemel Hemstead in Hertfordshire and not Welwyn! Oooooops!

    We used to have KL theodolites until a few years ago and they also made the prisms for dial sights too. Am I forgiven?

    The Man who never made a mistake never made anything.

    Who would you say made the least number of scopes?
