Wow! Only three digits from the one missing off my Canadianicon No.4 Mk.I* (T)! (S/N 270)

Photos 23 through 30 of the MKLicon photo tour linked by Lance above ought to answer most of your questions regarding the scope markings, but as to why your "C" was green colored, that's a small mystery.

Yah, it's worth something, BTW. It just depends on how badly the buyer wants it. Is the mounting bracket still attached?
