Could you have done the scope lens cover as well?

They were not sold as original period parts so it would be good to know where they came from.

Thanks again…..
Will PM you my email details.
NO WAY is that 1st pattern one of my scope cap sets! Look like they were made in the dark by a black cat that wasn't there. My sets have different markings (2 sets of them - broad arrow/red ink)
The 3rd pattern, on their own in the tin - maybe - again, would need more pics.

The scope tin strap I can give you an idea on if you send me pics of the sewing near the buckle, the shape of the cut near the strap end and the sewing of the 2 loops.
The 3rd pattern scope caps - pics of the markings/sewing, etc.

Cheers

Jon
