    With only 500 and some odd made, we stand a good chance of re-uniting some sets I'd say.

    How's that spread sheet coming Badger?

    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.

    I've tried to delegate the task to one of our hundreds of volunteers who line up regularly to contribute their time like yourself, but, haven't had much luck.

    Consider it delegated.

    Those who wish can PM me their details. I will produce a copy for public consumption that identifies owners by their initials, Milsurp ID, or nothing at all if they prefer.

    I'll have to start paying more attention to skips in future!

    Nice find.

    Hey fellas

    I just acquired this scope and was wondering what a ballpark value would be for it. Glass is clean and clear.









    I can take more photos if needed.

    Friends ,

    To complete the research on the subject here is a picture of my no 47 instrument stand canvas pouch.

    The stand had a pouch .

    My picture is featured in Clive Law's latest edition of '' Without warning '' , his fine book on canadian sniping equipment.

    Cheers.

    Robert

    Do you mind telling us the serial numbers on the stand and scope?

    Somewhere not long ago I saw a photo of a Canadianicon Bisley team from the 1950s with a scope and stand in the foreground. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them ended up with military shooting teams; no better stand could be had then, and maybe not even now.

    With the help of a forum member I have just managed to complete my CMK 1 with a tripod from that "site".

    The serial numbers are:

    Telescope - 256-C
    Telescope case - 114-C
    Tripod - 502-C

    Was that telescope part of the Canadianicon No4T CES in much the same way as the Tel Sct Reg (Telescopes, Captain Pugwash as we called them.....) was the telescope in our CES? The old Tel Sct Reg seems to fit into the Canadian chests.
