Thoughts on this one?

[Roger Payne]

I emailed him/her/them a few days ago when I saw that he/she/they were expecting in a WW1 SMLE sniper.....I did mention that I didn't want to buy back any of my repro mounts! Yes, both the PPCo & the 4T are as wrong as a nine bob note. The markings on the 41 Maltby appear to have been engraved on not stamped.....or at the very least very heavily wire mopped after stamping. The bracket hails from I know not where. The No32 is at least the real thing. The SMLE has been heavily wire brushed. The front contour of the PPCo base is wrong as are the screws. Again, the scope is at least a nice original one.

Just my .02 of course. I am not necessarily implying the proprietor is in any way trying to fool anyone....he/she/they may be unaware as to what they have been landed with.
