    No32 Mk1 Scope Tin Instruction Labels?

    It struck me the other day that I have only been able to collect and sample Scope and Tin sets for the No32 mk3 version - which clearly had the hand written or typed and copied "revised scope adjustment process" on the second label (besides the label for rifle and scope serial numbers). So what label(s) would be pertinent for Mk1 and Mk2 scopes in the 1942 to 1944 period? Any examples and photos out there?

    The only thing I've ever found interesting about those labels is the fine details at the bottom of some of them of the date the contract was issued for the paper they were printed on. Interesting because a label was not applied before the contract date printed on it(!), and probably months after it.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
