REL production reports.

[stencollector]

Now much of the above may not interest the average collector, but to those who have the LB snipers, there is some of the elusive information on these rarities. There will be conflicts between these reports and perhaps the reports of LongBranch, but in the end it is one department's report against anothers.

I don't have a copy from the report, byt Frank sent me this regarding post war outstanding orders:

Outstanding Contract Balances at Dec. 31, 1945". The only references to Telescopes, Sighting in this listing are:

Telescopes Sighting Mod.E, Quantity - 350
Conversion of 51--32 Mk. I Telescopes to 32 Mk. IA and Spare Parts, Quantity- Balance to be Cancelled

I suspect that the model E scopes will be the no32mk3 scope, which will be the 5th production model of telescope by REL in the sniper series.
One thing that is clear is that rifle telescope production, expected to be 20 telescopes per week, did not meet those expectations.
