Sniper Scope Collection For Sale

[Lance]

A gentleman on Gunboards.com has started to list a collection of sniper scopes. I have asked for details on his British scope's and for those that are looking. Here are the s/n's of what he has. Unfortunately he wants a kings ransom for them, between 1000 and 2500 euro's but if it matches up you kit........

He can be reached at: vintagescope@gmail.com

Scopes:

Kershaw Mk II s/n 8588, 9005, 9120
Vickers Mk 2/1 s/n 411
Scope Can for scope #22631
Two other scope cans, numbers unreadable, one is Belgium
Scope Mounts: 37012 (no letter prefix, appears original to scope 9005),
X34250 (on 9120 but does not appear original to this scope),

Lance,
Thx. I think I know the gentleman concerned. He does get a lot of nice stuff & usually exhibits at the big Belgian show I sometimes go to. However I would agree his prices have always been on the high side; but then again if he has the scope off 'your' rifle...........

Good Hunting!

Why it's my garage sale fantasy come true!

To be brutally honest, and I could be overstepping the mark a bit, but knowing a tiny weeny bit about optical instruments and how delicate they can be at the best of times, this doesn't seem to me like the best was to advertise a whole pile of telescopes for sale. Putting them into what I'd call a f-----g great pile seems a bit, er.........., well, careless somehow. Maybe 10 seconds lined up on a table would look a little more presentable and thoughtful. But maybe it's just me being a bit old fashioned. That's age for you!

Just checked out the numbers on my great pile of serial numbers and against 8588 I have annotated '.....seen numbered on ex T butt fitted to a DP rifle'. So we know where the telescope and the butt are ........................

Anyone we know? Never seen so many APX units in one place before.

Well, if it's who I think it is he's French, so he might just have a bit of a predilection towards his own country's kit!

[Peter Laidler]

Ah, enlightening Taff. But they were still in a xxxxing great pile to start with! I know what I'd have said if I saw a load of pretty tough and hardy SUSAT sights thrown into a cupboard like that................. and it wouldn't have made pleasant listening I can tell you. Anyway......................

They look much more impressive on the table in the second picture.......garden bed still needs a bit of work though!!
