No. 42 Scope Question.

[Bruce_in_Oz]

Edit: OOPS, header should read "No.32"

This morning, I was shown a scope marked thus:

TEL.STG No MK1
HBM Co. OS. 817 GA.
REGD. No. 2882

This is similar to the sample text on a Mk 1 as fitted to an early No4 T.

Reticle is a simple cross hair, not a fat post with a crosswire.

Allegedly, it came from a Canadian rifle that was used in Korea in the 1950s.

With the scope is a butt that looks very like the butt on a No4 (T) C, except that the socket end is cut for a SMLE, NOT a No4.

The bloke that owns this stuff also got a bunch of armourers tools and gauges from the same source as a job lot.

My digital camera went for a swim, so when I get a new one, I will try to provide pictures.

Cheers!
