    Scope Adjustment label on No8 scope case

    Well I have a No8 Mk2 canvas scope case and the instructions are pretty much gone and what isn't gone will be as the label is crumbling off at the lightest touch.

    I would like to replace it. Does any one have a digital copy of it? Obviously I would like to try and keep the same font as the original, if possible.

    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 trust that these will be of assistance. Does not appear to be of any specific font.

    We used to have these printed out on an old roneo printer and stuck into the case using a foul smelling brown glue stuff called 'GUM, Arabic' that smelled like the inside of a camel drivers jock-strap. Probably made from dried camel droppings! Slosh some on the tin and stick the label in then slosh a layer of the foul smelling stuff on the top of the label too.

    You don't by chance still have one of those printed off copies laying around yet do you?

    I'm sure I'm not gonna find the "GUM, Arabic" glue at my local hardware store, but do you have a good substitute in mind that might work?

    Don't have anything like that left but understand that they are currently being printed off.
