    Simon, can you tell me what the highest number you have recorded for an Envoy is please?

    Also do you have an L39A1 on the list with the serial number A498?


    The information will be useful to this thread.

    Mick,

    The highest recoded envoy serial number is No 526 which is shown as being sent to Bisley although no date of despatch is recorded.

    Rifle A498 was sent to store at Donnington on the 1st May 1970.

    Cheers,
    Simon.

    I am the happy owner of Enforcer s/n 233.

    Any information for this rifle would be great.

    When purchased it came with two mags, one marked 233 as per the rest of the rifle, and one marked 377,

    Regards

    Karl,

    Rifle No 424 was sent to Derbyshire Police on the 14th August 1974.

    Rifle R32823 does not appear in the records, although as I have said previously that does not necessarily mean the rifle is a fake as there are some gaps in the records. The best option would be to post a lot of detailed photo's of the rifle and ask for the opinions of the likes of Roger Payneicon and Peter Laidlericon.

    Cheers,
    Simon.

    I found an Envoy

    Greetings Simon,
    When you have a chance, can you go through your records to see what you have on Envoy sn E329? It is one of the Bisley Palma Match rifles and marked but I'd be very interested in finding out any further information on it.







    Best Always,
    Michael
