    Sage advice from one who has sold what should have been kept - do not sell it keep it for the day when a scopeless T comes along because as sure as eggs you will sell the item and lo and behold a rifle will present itself and your done no scope or bracket.
    I have sold things that had I kept'em then life would not have some regrets like my Beretta U/O 56E Skeet gun sold to buy an XR-75 scrambler Wrong, my 1976 green Z- 900 for my Z1R semi wrong then sold it for a 900 Honda F2B Totally Wrong.
    My wife perseveres with my collecting but I am very lucky as she is a passionate shooter and enjoys my 303's immensely although she has claimed my 5MD No 1 MkIII as her's (no way).
    Its your call but the T's no matter what type scopeless caseless what ever are going up in price and you have there probably the most expensive piece of the puzzle..................................
    Anyway I am kicking back after a birthday party with my best mate with a certain Mr Gentleman Jack Daniels surfing milsurps have a top evening people

    Thanks Cinders,

    I have similar regrets myself.

    My main thinking is that I am not really geared up for shooting at the moment, so tucking it away for when I am seems a bit of a waste.

    Having said that, I could invest the proceeds into my edged weapons, and have something I can make use of.

    Still thinking hard!

    Thanks for the advice, and enjoy Mr Daniels!

    Close, but no cigar.

    Sitting in my secure closet is a like new No. 4 T #H35018. This specimen is not 'T' stamped although it has all the other H&H conversion markings. There is no telescope number at the wrist so this one never made it to finishing school.

    Darn, that is close, sounds like a handsome rifle though.

    All these great stories of possible reunites are not helping me decide what to do! Seeing it back on the original rifle would be amazing, but I think to see it being used and appreciated would be pretty good also.

    People seem quite keen on the scope, which is good. I guess it won't have any trouble finding a new home should I decide to part with it.

    Thanks all,

    Chris

    One last question:

    Does my scope date from late 1944 or 1945, or is it impossible to know for sure?

    Kind regards,

    Chris

    There are many No.4Mk.1T rifles, mostly '44 dated as produced by BSA/H&H that are complete and matching but lacking the finish "T" on the left side of the body. The only explanation for this that I've come up with is that they were producing them as fast as they could for obvious reasons. H&H produced the largest amount in 1944. There was a war on!

    Your scope looks right as rain and very nice to boot Chris. Get on the hunt for a rifle, make sure the bracket fits and collimates properly and you'll be good to go.

    PS, Contact DS Solutions and grab one of the booklets they sell on the No.32 and L1A1 scope. It has all the pertinent information you're looking for.

    Chris - Please verify the rifle serial number stamped into the side of the bracket. It looks to me like H34906 whereas someone else reads it as H34996.

    Chris, your No32 scope is worth keeping even if you don't end up putting it back on a rifle as it's an interesting example of good design, precision engineering and optics all rolled into a single item.
