Have the odds and ends of WWI scopes and mounts come up for auction yet?
"Promo" - Thank you for the heads-up. My C No. 67 Mk. I scope does not have a bracket .... yet. The Long Branch No. 4 Mk. I*(T) rifle that I bought at Poulin's in the Spring of 2017 has the correct mount (attached to the body). That rifle came with a scope described as a No. 67 but in fact it is a prototype of the C No.32 Mk. 4 (C No. 67 Mk. I) scope called the R.E.L. Gimbal 3.5X. That was in a bracket on 80L8006. That bracket was numbered to Long Branch experimental Scout Sniper Rifle SN ASC-85-3 and I have Scout Sniper's Rifle ASC-85-4, so naturally the scope has moved over to that rifle. There were only 10 (ten) of those rifles made in the ASC serial number series. I recently acquired a C No. 67 Mk. I scope thanks to a lead and lobbying by "stencollector". I still need the bracket to mate 80L8006 with the C No. 67 Mk. I scope and also another mount to use on the Scout Sniper's Rifle so that I can mount the Gimbal scope. That rifle has one of the eBay Italian made mounts on it temporarily which has different dimensions and does not appear to be a copy of any Canadian mount.

WANTED FOR MY C No. 67 MK. I SCOPE:
1. Scope bracket
2. Scope mount - to use on my Scout Sniper Rifle
3. Scope case - special for C No. 67, similar to Telescope Observing Sniper's, but smaller
4. Webbing scope caps - I can trade an original leather No. 32 scope set
[QUOTE=mcnuttwa;416253]Folks-
I bought this lot of Chests this afternoon as part of the Poulin's auction of the Bob Faris collection.
One of the chests matches a rifle I boughtBob
Chests have arrived.
I'll take a good look at them tomorrow and publish serial numbers as best I can make out and otherwise post photos of interest to the group.
I'll post in depth photos in the in WTS section over the next few days.
Attachment 88615
I would be very interested in a L42 & a NO4T case but what would the shipping be to Canada ? :cool::yikes:

No distinguishing marks easily seen on this one.
This chest seem to be a later production version- the label on the interior lid is dated 1975, all the others say 1971. The foam is also somewhat different on this example- it's slightly more coarse and seems to have a little less give than the others. And lastly, the handles are a painted canvas sort of material which seem much sturdier.
** NOTE- This Chest was sold to a Board Member this afternoon.
Box#5
This is the chest for L42A1 S#U36397 which is matched with REL Mk3 scope 6C
