I'd have to say that no one knows. If there is new information out there on this matter, it remains unpublished.

Do not know. Do not care. Just want one as a present for surviving surgery

Well Spinecracker, you survived, I notice that you appear addicted to painkillers, hence your somewhat strange reply.

Did the surgery go ok?

Muffet, I am not addicted to painkillers - hate them actually - but I understand the need for short-term analgesia, and I happen to have had to undergo several surgeries in the past 6 months. I did undergo a significiant hip surgery yesterday, but am not taking opioids until the nerve block wears off and I have no choice. Vicodin does make me a bit loopy, and I have an English sense of humour anyway. You have been warned
The strange reply is not strange if you know that my real addiction is to Long Branches - which are cheaper (still) than drugs lol.

Back on topic -
Regarding your Long Branch serial number question, you might consider asking over at the canadiangunnutz milsurps forum - you never know what you might find out.

Afraid I don't know either, but there were about 5 in the batch we bought in 1997. All were 90L's & all had come out of UK service. Some had been suncorited over the original blue & some were as is. I kept two 'as is'! I can probably find the serials if anyone is interested.......

P.S. get well soon, oh spiney one.

There is a member who possibly knows, but he's not likely to divulge that information at this point. Just as long as the info doesn't go to the grave with him, it's all good with me.

Well I am shortly to send him over a No32 Mk1 as a fun restoration project so maybe I'll lean on him gently!!

I have a view that if you know (or purport to know) and don't say, then you either DON'T know or might as well not know
