    Dial plates - help.

    Some time back on one of the Enfield fora, some kind soul posted a picture, or web page of all the various volley sight plates that were fitted to Enfields.

    Now, I know I saved it, but can I find it? of course not.

    Anyone got a copy, please?

    Does this mean you are planning to replicate LES 2 dial plates, or am I reading too far between the lines?

    We have thought about it, but the engraving would be an expensive process. We have a solution in mind but the present financial climate does not encourage speculation.

    The figures could always be applied by a transfer, but I can hear the groans of disapproval from here.

    At the moment I cannot see them being offered for less than £100 each, including pointer, washer, pivot and fixing screw.

    Thanks for the reply. I can fully understand the forseen problems with such an undertaking.

    I reckon there is a market at £100 as one just sold on Ebay (item 300309441843) for £103 / $152

    That's amazing.............. Who'd have even guessed that there were 12 variations of such a small and probably unused bit of kit?
