Did Holland & Holland use recycled scopes?

[Lance]

Greetings All

A question for the experts out there. Is there any data that H&H would/did refit used scopes off a condemed snipers to later rifles?

I ask as a very nice '44 BSA "G" serial number rifle has come up with a mid-range Kodak (6900 s/n range) Mk I that is all matching and correct. A 1944 dated rifle with a 1941 dated scope raises many red flags but this one appears legit with:

H&H stampings on the receiver and butt stock (including "T" stamp)
matching can with matching paper tag inside
matching scope mount with staked screws (untouched)

Any insight is appreciated!!
