Sorry, yes, I used the wrong word to describe the joints, they are not fan shaped like dovetails, but parallel 'fingers' as you say. There are a few late chests about that have larger 'fingers' than the norm. There were a few in evidence at Charnwood when the L42's first came in to there from Dince Hill. I liberated one & still have it in my loft somewhere........

Yes, noticed the replacement locating spigots for the scope bracket in the tin. The repair would have looked much better with a gob of green paint over it.
