13 BRITISH SNIPER RIFLE TRANSIT BOXES. Lot Number: 2579

[Promo]

According to the original files of the Faris collection the following rifles were with transit chests:
LB No. 4 T, 1944, #68L3246 (mismatching chest)
BSA No. 4 T, 1945, #T39788 (with transit chest No. 15)
BSA No. 4 T, 1945, #V38773 (with matching numbers chest and canvas case)
BSA No. 4 T, 1945, #T32281 (with transit chest and telescope case)
Maltby L42A1, 1977, #M8824 (with chest)
Long Branch .22 No. 4 Mk.I*, Toolroom sample (with unnumbered early Long Branch Chest)

There might be transit chests with other rifles too, but this is what I was able to find. If any from the above matches any of the chests and had not yet been sold, they might come up for auction in the future.

Edit: were the L42A1 rifles sold with the metal scope cans? I've found a small list of scope cans from the Faris collection too. Not sure if they sold them with the rifles or if a batch of metal scope cans will be put up for sale in the next auction...

Edit2: Colin, was your CNo.67 sniper with scope mount or scope? I've just noticed a spare No. 67 bracket too, might also turn up for sale.

Edit3: Faris collection included L42A1 #T32281, #G33072 (converted No. 4 Mk.I(T)), #50L0027 (again converted No.4 Mk.I(T)), #U36397, #M8824, #G22742. With the No. 4 T's it included #A0827, #13C7446, #68L3246, #90L8217, #T39788, #V38773, #E35678, #80L8006 (with the No. 67 scope), #02911 (Indian rework), #AT0291 (7.62mm rework), #V38563, #A0919. Is any of those serial numbers matching to either of your chests?
