No4 Mk1 T Gains a Scope

[IanS]

During my visit at the re-opening of the Bevrijdingsmuseum in Nieuwdorp, the curator mentioned that one of their T's had no scope. Later, back in the UK, I saw that Southams had a replica in their auction. I contacted the museum and asked if a replica would suffice, particularly as the cost would be far less than an original.
It transpired that a resident in the area had a scope that was found on the Sloedam in 1944 and this is now attached to the T that had no scope.
I have attached a couple of photos, unfortunately, I wasn't provided with the scope number.
It's possible it was used by a sniper of the 6th Battalion Cameronians, who landed behind the German defenses during Operation Mallard.
I wonder if rifle AV221 survived.
