Peter, having spent my whole working life in the field of accountancy, I have developed the habit of trying to find external proof (usually paper based) that something is correct or at least believable. As old habits die hard, it occurred to me having read and re-read your book I decided to try and locate the conversion records of Holland & Holland to see if it were possible for me to actually trace my rifle through these records. As correct No.4(T) rifles are becoming more difficult to find and there are a number of dubious rifles and scopes showing up in the market place (I have seen two dodgy examples in the past year or so) I would like to establish some external degree of provenance for my rifle and its scope. I accept that I am probably on a bit of a wild goose chase with this quest.
