    Cool ERSATZ surprise.

    Just received a couple of bits from Sarco. A clarke Central clone and an Emergency sight for a Lee Enfield.
    I was surprised to see the Central stamp on this ersatz sight, when I ordered these bits I was thinking maybe some Britishicon or Canuk design.
    Thats very pleasing, certainly fills a hole in my collection that I had'nt expected to fill so easily, Murphy must have had a day off when this order went in. Although a base for the Humphreys sight seemed to have suddenly disappeared, pity about that. If anyone out there has one I am willing to pay a good price for it.
    So with the addition of the Clarke, my Central Drawer is fleshed out with Five different models of Central, plus an early clone, Clarke, TMac, Rawson and Ace, these all attach with the seperate sideplate.
    I am still missing the Austral and Don, as fixed arm sights, and my Mues drawer is missing the Climax and Premier, so if you have these spare, guess who is very interested.
    I have long since run out of room in my Parker and BSA storage, a new drawer chest is on it's way. Marvelous how a sideline suddenly blooms into a major show.
    I am still seeking information on various sights, so the info tabs and timelines are correct. The Argyle, How many types made, Mues, same same. up to seven and still counting, Mottey-only two? The Regent, big question mark. and this is just a start.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
