I went thru the stickys and couldn't find answers.

The book talks about 674 rifles that were rejected by Holland and Holland in the first contract and 7 in the second contract and returned to service, but still have the TR stamp. Have any of those shown up in the US surplus market does anyone know?

Did 7.62 L8(T) ever make it to civilian surplus in Europe?

How often if at all, did No.4 T's come stateside with the back sight modification to allow bolt removal without scope removal (done by a unit armorer) mentioned in the book?

Anyone have a picture of the "HANDKERCHIEF, Mk1 mentioned in the parts designation extract? Can't find any other mention of it so far.

The next question is just Yankee ignorance but the pricing for the contracts are in a format I can't suss out. The funny L for the pound and " 2/8/6d ". And later it says "price of 48/6d". Can anyone explain? I'm about to read Chapter 4 and understanding that will be handy.

Thanks.
