13 BRITISH SNIPER RIFLE TRANSIT BOXES. Lot Number: 2579

[Promo]

According to the original files of the Faris collection the following rifles were with transit chests:
LB No. 4 T, 1944, #68L3246 (mismatching chest)
BSA No. 4 T, 1945, #T39788 (with transit chest No. 15)
BSA No. 4 T, 1945, #V38773 (with matching numbers chest and canvas case)
BSA No. 4 T, 1945, #T32281 (with transit chest and telescope case)
Maltby L42A1, 1977, #M8824 (with chest)
Long Branch .22 No. 4 Mk.I*, Toolroom sample (with unnumbered early Long Branch Chest)

There might be transit chests with other rifles too, but this is what I was able to find. If any from the above matches any of the chests and had not yet been sold, they might come up for auction in the future.

Edit: were the L42A1 rifles sold with the metal scope cans? I've found a small list of scope cans from the Faris collection too. Not sure if they sold them with the rifles or if a batch of metal scope cans will be put up for sale in the next auction...

Edit2: Colin, was your CNo.67 sniper with scope mount or scope? I've just noticed a spare No. 67 bracket too, might also turn up for sale.

Edit3: Faris collection included L42A1 #T32281, #G33072 (converted No. 4 Mk.I(T)), #50L0027 (again converted No.4 Mk.I(T)), #U36397, #M8824, #G22742. With the No. 4 T's it included #A0827, #13C7446, #68L3246, #90L8217, #T39788, #V38773, #E35678, #80L8006 (with the No. 67 scope), #02911 (Indian rework), #AT0291 (7.62mm rework), #V38563, #A0919. Is any of those serial numbers matching to either of your chests?

I bought the final chest from this lot.

I left feedback in the iTrader section, but I will underline that mcnuttwa did a dozen of us a huge service with his outlay of cash up front and then having to wait FOUR YEARS to finally get all the extras sold.

Wanted to publicly express my gratitude for that.
