Lithgow HT sniper 48334

[Son]

Here's a pic of an original box, two rifles (The box contained two rifles) two scope cases, two sets of leather scope caps, two TEL. SCT. REGT telescopes and their cases, two Owen Gun bayonets, a British sniper's pocket watch and a compass.

The box was decked out to hold two rifles with provision for two scopes in their cases. It also appears to be set up for two bayonets. I have included the Owen bayonets in this pic as they were apparently available for issue with the HT on request. Not sure about pocket watches and compasses in the Aussie kits. I'm told the rifles were issued without their crates so perhaps their wasn't much extra gear involved.

It was a long time ago but I recall that the Qld museum bought it...it is now welded up and no longer on display. As I said one of my few regrets.

When I get it can I send the photos to you for posting and your records? I am not very technical with such things.

Thanks to all the forum members for the assistance given to me in relation to this and several other purchases. I really appreciate it.

Regards

Craig
