Parker Hale's are often seen on eBay. They were manufactured for the No1, No4/5, P14, Model 1917 and various Mauser actions. All PH items are clearly marked "Parker Hale Made in England" and have the model number stamped on the fastener face ...ie "215 U" etc. Sell in the $40.00 to 75.00 range. An original British marked sniper one are rare as are the Canadian marked ones...be prepared to pay a premium for these.

There's some interesting feedback from collectors, including Peter Laidler about swivels in various Knowledge Library entries. For example, check this on on the 1944 C No.7 .22 Caliber Lee-Enfield Training Rifle , which is also duplicated in the No.4(T) Long Branch sniper article.

You have to check on these rifles if the military version (doesn't swivel 360) was swapped out for the PH version, which is taller and swivels 360 degrees.
