I see that well known site has 2 No32 scopes up. The second with a mount.
Any opinions as to how genuine they are?
Cost of servicing the first one?
First one is item no 181 2661 888 20 second is
Sniper Rifle Telescopic Sight Scope WW2 Lee Enfield No. 4T Vintage Rare | eBay
Bloke you do not say what Mk they are I, II or III but from what I have seen over the past months as a guide with a mount anywhere from $1,800.oo AU upwards without a mount from about $1,300.oo AU also the one with a mount the pads are precisely matched to the rifle and expecting two bits a sniper T with another scope to be a winner may be a bit hopeful.
Peter Laidler has some really good info on the 32 and the sniper T well worth the effort even has a good section on making up a good repro T if you are going to take the plunge to buy the scope and bracketed one is it a real deal mount or repro.....:wave:
Looks like the chap in Ireland has now gone down the route of splitting up scope sets in order to maximise eBay revenue; I see there are separate listings for scope, mount and tin.
Think that's the 3rd or 4th set to be split, great shame but I guess he isn't attached to them like some of us would be and its a down to profit, last set added up to around £2200 for the scope, tin, mount and covers. Been keeping a list of the scope numbers as I,m sure another few No4Ts will turn up in the future with the said scopes (probably with some story behind the rifle etc also)Quote:

Perhaps we should resurrect that no32 numbers list in the matchmaking section which someone posted as a spreadsheet and add it to this forum as a useful sticky - and add to it as and when genuine 32s are spotted.
Tried to be as diplomatic as I could with that Steve.Quote:

BAC are indeed splitting up the scopes/tins/brackets/lens caps to maximise profit, & they may have a few more to dispose of this way, but it won't go on for ever (I assure you)......;)

The idea of the spreadsheet is very good. If it gets up and running I'll send the details of the 'Repro' I built.
Have MK1, that needs rebuilding. Any idea on cost and turn around. Thanks
