    E R Watts rifle scope photos wanted.

    I have searched the web and am unable to find good E R Watts scope images or much about them in general. Is there anyone that has some that they would share to this forum? Thanks

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    And that's probably 25% of those in existence!

    ER Watts WW1 era scopes.

    I finally got round to getting a few photo's of what I have. One of the scopes (The one fitted by Rigby) does not bear the ER Watts engraving on the ocular housing, but it is well polished, so might have been there originally. The other possibility being that Watts omitted their markings in some sort of arrangement with Rigby. Speaking from memory to the OP in a PM I mentioned that I believed there was no major difference in any of the objective housings in scopes that I had seen - though there clearly is.

    Anyway, for the OP & anyone else interested, there you have it. Assuming the unmarked scope is indeed a Watts, there are four there in total.
