    Rifle 14C5906, scope No. on wrist 1431.

    Just for posterity.

    Mag looks like it's going to fall out. A bit like this one!

    Scope No.1423 was on a 1941 Maltby I used to own IIRC.

    Bit of a tangent I know, but what if anything can we learn from the scope numbers seen on these early non-Trials conversions? Specifically, if we see higher numbers from the same scope maker originally fitted to ex-Trials No4(T)s, do we have evidence that some of these early non-Trials rifles were converted at RSAF(E) in the same 'run' as the ex-Trials rifles?

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
