Hi Gil Boyd.
You misunderstood me. I certainly expressed myself badly I'm sorry, English isn't my mother tongue.
You haven't burst bubbles, I am aware that the rifle, in the thread, is a fake and I don't want either buy or sell it. I said only that the scope and the brachet are original, but made or reworked in Italy, post WW2, for the ItalianArmy.
Thank you for the useful information you have posted. I am here to compare and learn.
What I wanted to say was that the markings: T, TR, S, S51, etc. aren't always present on an original Britishsniper rifle.
Sincerely. Giancarlo
