Thanks Rod I'll get onto my mate to dig this thing out of his shed he is pretty good with stuff but I have no idea as to its condition this will decide if the project gains fruition.
I snagged a set of binos that are part of the CES for the T they are in refurbed condition and appear to be as new, the stadia in the Rt eye piece are crisp with only 2 tiny bits of lint specks which are not affecting them in any way.
I got a scout draw scope years ago and repro sight can for $200 all up so happy with that the leather container for the scope is grey/blue colour to me that sounds like RAF.
