Interesting in that mount appears to bear obliterated serial number 71L0360, with a differing (perhaps bubba?) serial number stamped below it. REL No32 Mk II scope, 477C.

Not my auction nor do I know the seller. Maybe a match is out here for either rifle or scope/mount?
It is a very interesting package - it is a bit of a composed set:

- Britishicon No15 transit chest (marked for a Mk3 scope)
- No8Mk2 from a LB 90L block Mk3
- the telescope appears to be an REL, but the markings look a little wonky (it looks like they may have just been covered with plastic or tape when repainting the scope)- which may explain why 477c was reported by Peter Laidlericon as being the highest serial numbered No32MkIA which he worked on...(this does not prove that this a "faked scope" by any means as I am fully aware of the possibility of typos in PL's notes, and when he reported the information).
- the butt stock is correctly marked for a 44L range sniper.
I would very much like to see clear photos of the pads...
- i do not like the screws in the front pad.
- from the existing photos, the front pad appears to be LB
