SOLD - Rare, Incredible British No.4 Mk I(T) Enfield Sniper Rifle Grouping

Description

12/7/22 - This is an incredible No.4 Mk I (T) sniper rifle rig. These rifles were the standard British sniper rifles developed in the late 1930s and used until the early 1960s. The receiver side wall is marked "No. 4 Mk I T", and the butt socket is marked "M47C/1945/V39291/TR". The rifle is matching numbers throughout, and was originally telescope ready as it has the serial of the original scope on the wrist. The scope mount has the matching serial of the rifle on it, as does the scope can. The serial number of the scope is correctly numbered and matching on the wrist of the rifle. This original No. 32 MKIII scope is marked "TEL.STG.No 32 MKIII/O.S. 2039 A/No 23487/broad arrow proof". It is fitted with its original, correct wartime smooth semi-pistol grip stock with the standard proof marks, matching serial number on the forestock and correctly stamped "S51" on behind the pistol grip area. The buttstock is fitted with a wartime metal buttplate with butt trap compartment and the correct screw-on cheekpiece. The scope tin is especially rare and seldom seen, as most feature the canvas case. Comes with an original 1944 sling, as many preferred the American sling. Comes with breech cover, complete with an original WWII issue Chest S.A. No.15.Mk.1, green wooden storage/shipping container.
