I bought the final chest from this lot.

I left feedback in the iTrader section, but I will underline that mcnuttwa did a dozen of us a huge service with his outlay of cash up front and then having to wait FOUR YEARS to finally get all the extras sold.

Wanted to publicly express my gratitude for that.

Have the odds and ends of WWI scopes and mounts come up for auction yet?

[Seaforth72]

"Promo" - Thank you for the heads-up. My C No. 67 Mk. I scope does not have a bracket .... yet. The Long Branch No. 4 Mk. I*(T) rifle that I bought at Poulin's in the Spring of 2017 has the correct mount (attached to the body). That rifle came with a scope described as a No. 67 but in fact it is a prototype of the C No.32 Mk. 4 (C No. 67 Mk. I) scope called the R.E.L. Gimbal 3.5X. That was in a bracket on 80L8006. That bracket was numbered to Long Branch experimental Scout Sniper Rifle SN ASC-85-3 and I have Scout Sniper's Rifle ASC-85-4, so naturally the scope has moved over to that rifle. There were only 10 (ten) of those rifles made in the ASC serial number series. I recently acquired a C No. 67 Mk. I scope thanks to a lead and lobbying by "stencollector". I still need the bracket to mate 80L8006 with the C No. 67 Mk. I scope and also another mount to use on the Scout Sniper's Rifle so that I can mount the Gimbal scope. That rifle has one of the eBay Italian made mounts on it temporarily which has different dimensions and does not appear to be a copy of any Canadian mount.

WANTED FOR MY C No. 67 MK. I SCOPE:
1. Scope bracket
2. Scope mount - to use on my Scout Sniper Rifle
3. Scope case - special for C No. 67, similar to Telescope Observing Sniper's, but smaller
4. Webbing scope caps - I can trade an original leather No. 32 scope set

[QUOTE=mcnuttwa;416253]Folks-

I bought this lot of Chests this afternoon as part of the Poulin's auction of the Bob Faris collection.

One of the chests matches a rifle I boughtBob

[mcnuttwa]

Chests have arrived.

I'll take a good look at them tomorrow and publish serial numbers as best I can make out and otherwise post photos of interest to the group.

I'll post in depth photos in the in WTS section over the next few days.

I would be very interested in a L42 & a NO4T case but what would the shipping be to Canada ?
