Eric,

Envoy E290 is recorded as having been shipped out to Parker, Birmingham on the 06th Nov 1970.

Rifle number E35634 is not recorded in the conversion records, however as the rifle is an XL that doesn't surprise me, there is also an XL in the Pattern Rooms which is absent from the conversion list.

Cheers,
Simon.

Sussex Police purchased 12 Envoys in the early seventies as "sniper rifles"and the force armourer fitted them with Parker Hale mounts and pecar scopes.
They later purchased 10 Enforcers making 22 "sniper rifles" in all.
The converted Envoy rifles were numbers E36, E45, E74, E114, E232, E256,
E260, E320, E348, E386, E389, E505.

The Enforcers numbers were 59, 188, 232, 361, 408, 453, 473, 482, 483, 494.

18 rifles were sold with their scopes to a local RFD in 1986. However Enforcers 453, 482, 483, 494 were sold to the City of London Police to be used by them as "sniper rifles" so these 4 rifles saw service with Sussex and City Police.

Can you give me any information on another of my Envoys E290 and my L42
(XL42E1) number E35634. (no its not for sale at any price)
Thank you.
