Updated 1933 No.4 Mk1(T) Sniper "Trials Rifle" MKL Entry

We have updated the "Collectors Comments and Feedback" section (See Note #1) of the 1933 No.4 Mk1(T) Sniper "Trials Rifle" (click here), located in the England - Milsurp Knowledge Library (click here), with recently received new information.

All of these "Trials" sniper rifles were original fitted with the No.32 Mk1 scope. The original W. Watson & Sons No.32 Mk1 scope matched to this No.4 Mk1(T) "Trials Rifle" rifle serial #A0507 was scope serial #1161, which is stamped in the wood on top of the butt wrist, above another number #2597.

The original scope has been replaced with the current W. Watson & Sons No.32 Mk1 scope Serial #2597 and matched once again with this same No.4 Mk1 "Trials Rifle" Serial #A0507. To be correct, the #1161 should have been cancelled out with horizontal lines through the number, which has not been done here. It has since been confirmed that this current W. Watson & Sons No.32 Mk1 scope Serial #2597, scope bracket and Case No.8 are KNOWN to not be original to the rifle, having been added and #2597 stamped on the wrist and scope bracket recently !!!!!
