Thought on this T ?

[Roger Payne]

It's real enough. 1935's exist tho 31's seem to be commonest, followed by 33's. It's been through the mill with some parts replaced....indeed the forend & butt appear to be grubby beech (look at the grain carefully) rather than walnut. The scope is clearly a miss-match, but then again it's a genine Trials T with a genuine Mk3 scope, a genuine bracket, & genuine No8 Mk2 case. The stencilling on the chest is clearly spurious. As Peter says in the UK the 'mount' would be referred to as a bracket. Also our clever dickie has even stencilled what I take to be the cradle clamp serial numbers for good measure!

clever dickie

Lovely expression Roger. I often wonder if it was actually first coined by Croft & Perry and said by that famous Anglo-Indian actor Michael Bates. e.g: "Don't be such clever dickie."
