SMLE Lattey sight

[Valleysniper]

Nice set Stencollector

If you can find a willing forum member here who has a complete front set and persuade them to remove lens retaining D shaped ring and take out lens and get it 'read' for its optical properties at an optics shop, it shouldn't cost too much to have a replacement made. You will also need to have a thickish plasticard template made up of the lens shape so that their lens grinding machines can trace shape from glass blank just as if you were having a lens made to fit the frame of a pair of spectacles. I had a spare Gibbs Galilean lens made up (without reticle) and I think it only cost £25 from a friendly local optical shop. Unfortunately I have never found a Lattey sight set for my collection.

And here is the even rarer Gibbs set for C.L.L.E.

Now anyone else got the B.S.A set so we have a full house?
