No4 Mk1/2 rear sight

Interesting that it is a LB 1/2. You don't see the Longbranch or Savage Mk. 1/2's often as they would be from the very early ones produced before changing to the Mk.I*, in which case, ending up as a 1/3. Nice find!

"... the double lines on the range scale."

There are large hashmarks left and right on the ladder, indeed, but there are also smaller, un-numbered hashmarks between them.
I think the OP is asking about the latter. (Pun omitted)
I have read, in the past, that these are +50 yard marks and the click spacing between the numbered hashmarks seems to bear this out---within reason.
It's not a Parker-Hale, after all.

Yes they are...

That what I was after! Many thanks.

Yes, I got lucky at a gun show here in Richmond, VA. It's a 1941 LB that went through FTR at Fazakerley in '54. Barrel was in very bad shape (tumbling rounds) but Brian Dick has just done a fantastic job replacing with a '50 Fazakerly barrel.
