Well, I'll be first to ask - PHOTOS???!!!!! What the heck was that doing on an air rifle??

Well, some pics would help ....

Sure is an ODD place for a No.32 scope to turn up ...

For more information on it, there's an entry in the England Section (click here) of the MKL (Milsurp Knowledge Library), showing a lot of general information about the No.32 scope.

Note: After you click on images to ENLARGE them, you may find they automatically size smaller in your browser's window making them harder to view. The auto sizing is your browser's way of keeping images entirely within the screen size you have set. Move your mouse pointer to the bottom centre of the pic and you will see an options panel appear. There will be a small square box next to the large X, which will have a pointer arrow sticking out of it. If it's illuminated, it means the pic you're viewing can be enlarged, so click on this box and the pic will EXPAND and open to its normal size.

You might try listing it here:

SCOPES looking for Rifles - Military Surplus Collectors Forums

It doesn't appear to be a scope # listed in the "Rifles Looking for Scopes" forum, but i may have missed it.

In today's market it's worth at least $1000. or a 1000 Pounds. Take your pick.

Most of the Mk1 and 2's that I see here in the UK come from old air rifles. You can genetally tell them by the missing anti-rotation blocks

How does that come about? Were they just once the cheapest scopes around?

[Peter Laidler]

That's right Tbone.........., they were ten a penny many years ago. In fact, I used to break them for spares. I'd say that I've broken about 20 or so in the past but not any more!
