Got this photo with a camouflaged sniper rifle:
It almost looks like a still from a movie with all the different lighting going on, some very dark shadows in-dispersed with light ones, it almost looks like the shooter is sitting next to a door ajar with that beam of light on his right arm...
Thank you. It is very nice to see a “fresh” photo of a No.4 (T) in use. Is there any information about the photo (where, when & unit?) and the source (who may have the original image)?
Another camouflage painted No.4 (T) can be seen in a May 1944 photo of two snipers in Ghillie suits standing and smiling. They were snipers with 1 Canadian Parachute Battalion. Their camouflage paint pattern was different from the one shown at the start of this thread.

Canada experimented with camouflage rifles, sniper rifles and scopes.
I have one WW II period camo No. 32 scope. British scope however and not REL.

I've got a Maltby 41 4T that has had the woodwork daubed with splotches of dark green paint at some point in the dim & distant past.
Nice Vickers under the camouflage netting left rear in Seaforths post.
Can just see the tip of the front pad over his right index finger. The fabricated upper band mean anything?Quote:
