    Sniper Scope Collection For Sale

    A gentleman on Gunboards.com has started to list a collection of sniper scopes. I have asked for details on his Britishicon scope's and for those that are looking. Here are the s/n's of what he has. Unfortunately he wants a kings ransom for them, between 1000 and 2500 euro's but if it matches up you kit........

    He can be reached at: vintagescope@gmail.com

    Scopes:

    Kershaw Mk II s/n 8588, 9005, 9120
    Vickers Mk 2/1 s/n 411
    Scope Can for scope #22631
    Two other scope cans, numbers unreadable, one is Belgiumicon
    Scope Mounts: 37012 (no letter prefix, appears original to scope 9005),
    X34250 (on 9120 but does not appear original to this scope),
    H34956 (on 411, but does not appear original to this scope)
    Attachment 22829

    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.

    Lance,
    Thx. I think I know the gentleman concerned. He does get a lot of nice stuff & usually exhibits at the big Belgian show I sometimes go to. However I would agree his prices have always been on the high side; but then again if he has the scope off 'your' rifle...........

    Good Hunting!

    Why it's my garage sale fantasy come true!

    To be brutally honest, and I could be overstepping the mark a bit, but knowing a tiny weeny bit about optical instruments and how delicate they can be at the best of times, this doesn't seem to me like the best was to advertise a whole pile of telescopes for sale. Putting them into what I'd call a f-----g great pile seems a bit, er.........., well, careless somehow. Maybe 10 seconds lined up on a table would look a little more presentable and thoughtful. But maybe it's just me being a bit old fashioned. That's age for you!

    Just checked out the numbers on my great pile of serial numbers and against 8588 I have annotated '.....seen numbered on ex T butt fitted to a DP rifle'. So we know where the telescope and the butt are ........................

    Ah, enlightening Taff. But they were still in a xxxxing great pile to start with! I know what I'd have said if I saw a load of pretty tough and hardy SUSAT sights thrown into a cupboard like that................. and it wouldn't have made pleasant listening I can tell you. Anyway......................

    Anyone we know? Never seen so many APX units in one place before.

    Well, if it's who I think it is he's Frenchicon, so he might just have a bit of a predilection towards his own country's kit!
