No 32 scope - canvas scope caps

[Gil Boyd]

I actually saw a sweat shop making these in Mumbai four years ago with the brass buckles the lot, as they were ex Army looking it attracted my attention, and the way they were distressing them you would think when assembled they had been recovered from WW2, even stamped with a date.
Their role was to produce 58 Pattern webbing for their Army....honest as I asked.

I know it takes some believing but they wear it as a traditional part of their uniform even today. All hand made in India, not ex MOD. Probably our free gratis webbing has probably worn out by now and they are making their own to substitute it.

They are getting brilliant at distressing everything including me, because they are so good at making these bits of objets d'art. Just look at the number of "Authentic" compasses from 1941 produced in brass but north tends to move on occasions . "Authentic" WW2 Lee Enfield Sniper rifle canvas covers too!!!!
They have what we in the west haven;t got when it comes to manufacturing fakes......TIME and plenty of it!!
Good luck to them............as the poor buggers have very little money but buyer beware in the west.
Sorry to go off on a tangent, but I have to say I have never seen them here in the west, on issue at all...............IMHO anyway!!

Meant to say............I have in the past bought a "Lee Enfield Sniper bag" date stamped canvas the lot, for £10 off that site only 10 left ha ha!!. It was a good buy but it had in fact shrunk by the time I got it and there was no way Hose A, the rifle was going to fit in there.
