Mystery No.32 Mk3 variation - No.2

[Nigel]

Just when you thought it was safe... here is another unique modification to the No.32 Mk3 slipping scales. It was another post war (1949) attempt to cure a few problematic scopes with scales that slipped too easily. This seems to have been quite liked by the Ordnance Board, maybe because one of their own Board members designed it, because it represents a much cleaner design than the first modification (as you can see in the picture). Will the owner of Rifle H33924 or scope No. 17700 please step forward.
