Overpriced No 53 scope

I see that the guy who was selling WW1 Parker Hale items is still at it on x bxy No 300984931462. However he now has a new seller ID. Nice theory on how you adjust the scope!

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. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

A little knowledge of punctuation mightn't be a bad idea either!

This guy is an a******e and should be avoided at all costs but we know that don't we.

I feel sorry for the poor sods that he cons.

Thanks Badger I was not sure if I was allowed to put links to fleabay in the message.
As a matter of interest what was the No53 scope designed and used for?

**Gil Boyd** · 03-17-2014 02:57 PM

Robert,
As stated before it was a coaxial machine gun telescope for the BESA MG on a couple of British icon

tanks namely the Churchill and Centurion MK1.
It was crap then and still is and certainly can't be used on a rifle regardless of defaming Parker Hales fantastic mounts in his sales, and you can see just how many times the "Alleged" focusing screws have been turned in the pictures for him to use the sight. He has seen a graticule and assumed it is for a rifle..........silly man, he has been told by a number of people what he has and still tries to dupe people

Hi Gil, I know the guys an idiot as I tried to tell him about the mounts and date and just got abuse. It had just slipped my memory what the 53 was used for so thanks for the info.

Just for good measure.........the mounts from Parker Hale shown in his photos were not made until long after the end of WW1........FACT
