Can anyone else help us with identification upon which bracket of Alan is for which rifle?
Reference Allan's 1st picture - 1200TX, commercial Mauser, Parker Hale M82 with scope base. All for Parker Hale 5B modified or 5E sights only.
It's a bit surprising that there was no(?) target sight for the Patt.14 that did not require drilling across the rear sight protectors, considering that the backsight axis screw is not that far away and its hole already goes through the left side of the sight protector.
Without getting one out to look, I presume it was a problem of clearing the sight ears while keeping the sight body close enough to the bore axis that there was enough travel on the windage bar.
I thought the PH5B was 'no drill'.

Parker Hale 5b and the AJ Parker 53 are a no drill mount. They fix to the receiver with a longer axix screw and replacement of the bolt stop spring perch. "Rock solid" - at least on my P14 and Model 17

Promo - your have an AJ Parker sight that with the correct base would mount on a Mauser or Schultz& Larson. I've got a base or 2 here if you need one.

My mistake; it had been so long since I looked I thought they were both drilled, and the upper was clearly drilled for something else.
I see you have one of the very desirable J H Steward eye pieces - cost more than the sight itself.

A pity they couldn't survive with that heritage; "Opticians to the National Rifle Association" at one point IIRC.
The iris eyepiece is not marked by the way, other than an assembly number.
They did survive!
Well the name did; the JH Stewards name is owned by Simon Goldsmith who has an opticians shop in Southwood Bristol and who still attends the major meetings at Bisley occupying a room just along from Fultons two shops.
On my last visit to Bristol I was told to bring the two rifles I wanted for the new glasses I was ordering, once Simon had sorted out my prescription I had to take my rifle into the shop area where he ordered me to take aim at one of the windows over the road with my AR15 at what appeared to be retirement flats.
None of Simons waiting customers took any notice although I was crapping myself should a police officer walk past!
