Telescope Sighting No. 32 Mk II

[Roy W]

I have had a couple requests for pic's of the scope markings on the Mk II's, so here they are for all to enjoy.

Per the data and observations available makers and s/n range:

Kershaw Ltd. 8000-9599
HBM Co. 10220-11999
W. Watson 12000-14999
Kershaw Ltd 15000-16499
Vickers 1-565 (Mk 2/1)
REL 475-C – 650-C

Early Vickers Mk 2/1 scopes bear the OS1650A Mk II markings but are set up as Mk 2/1’s. I have yet to find a Vickers Mk II, if someone has one please speak up. I have also not yet found a converted Mk 2/1 fitted to a matching rifle, hopefully there are some out there to find one day.

I was reading through this old thread and noticed that the REL MkII's began with 475-C

Then I checked my scopes and found this:



So, could this be the first ever REL MkII made?
