Dial plates - help.

[Enfieldlock]

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?

Ta, very much.

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

[Peter Laidler]

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

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
