A5/B4 scope also Evans Bros's WW1 scope mounts

[Roger Payne]

Hope it will be legible, but can you make out the initials written on the Model 1918 scope case?

The Watts scope with Purdey mounts is not mine - it belongs to a friend who was kind enough to loan it to me.

The Jeffery came with civvy range drum, but there is a military example shown by it (though probably too far away to discern any major details).

I at first thought the purple writing in the lid of the Aldis H&H scope case might have been faked, but I now seriously doubt it - a little research revealed that it was a popular colour of ink to write in a century ago.

...........& yes, that is a piece of 1" mild steel rod in the rings of the SMLE Aldis Overbore rifle. As you can no doubt guess, it's a reconstruction job in progress, although I do have a nice 4th pattern Aldis selected for it.

Thanks Rob - re the HBSA journals, I was thinking about people who may like to see them but who perhaps are not members or did not know about the association.

Hope people find the pics of some interest.
