PPCo Mounts

[Roger Payne]

Recently took receipt of a small quantity of high quality reproductions of the very rare aldis/PPCo claw mounts. These were clearly inspired by the P14/Patt 18 mounts (or maybe vice versa??), & date from 1918/19. The lineage is obvious, & although my original set is unmarked a friend has a set marked 'Periscopic Prism Co London 1919.' I only know of the existence of 3 or 4 sets or part sets extant....a rarity indeed. The P'14 variation is far more common.

I managed to relieve the originals from an esteemed Bisley-based gunsmiths (!) many years ago. There was a set of William Evans bases in the same 'tat' box. Oh! Happy Days! Thought some of you guys out there are as 'anoracky' as me & might be interested in seeing another WW1 sniping mount system.
