Desirable World War II British "1944" Dated Enfield No. 4 MKI (T) Bolt Action Sniper Rifle with No. 32 MK III Scope, Mount and Wooden Storage Chest

This is a fine example of a late 1944 dated WWII British Enfield No. 4 MK 1(T) sniper rifle that is fitted with a Canadian No. 32 MK3 scope and mount. The buttsocket is marked "M47C/1944/N33867/TR", and the right side of the receiver ring is stamped "ENGLAND". It has a black wartime finish and a walnut buttstock, forend and handguards. The comb of the stock is fitted with a darkened, hardwood cheekpiece held on with two wood screws. It has the standard blade front sight and a "No. 7" marked rear sight. The buttstock is a post-war replacement that is stamped with: "SL/inverted V/Star" proof indicating it is an Australian/Lithgow produced buttstock. It is correctly stamped with the correct, albeit slightly smaller, "S51" stamping behind the pistol grip area indicating conversion by Holland & Holland. The top of the wrist is not numbered. The underside of the forend is stamped with several British acceptance proofs followed by serial number "33867". It is currently fitted with a No. 32 MK3 Canadian sniper scope that is marked "TEL. SIG/No.32 Mk.3/C.O.S. 2039A/R.E.L. CANADA/234-C", and it has the standard post and crosshair reticle pattern and a set of leather scope caps. It has a very rough cast mount that is numbered "90L8221"on the side. The scope rings are unnumbered, and the screws are unstaked. The scope is complete with an original Canadian marked heavy canvas scope case and the original British Ordance inspection/repackaging labels dated 1961. This sniper rifle rig is complete with one original No. 15 green wooden storage chest, two WWII British bayonets with scabbards - one spiked and one rounded, a scope adjustment tool, and a sling.

ConditionVery fine with 85% of the British arsenal black painted exterior showing light wear on the edges and high spots overall with clear markings. The wood components are all in very fine condition with a nice light honey colored stock finish with clear sharp markings. The scope and mount retain 95% of their wartime black finish with clear sharp optics. The green wooden storage chest is in good plus condition with an old green repaint showing wear on the edge and high spots with some age cracks on the ends of the box. A very nice complete WWII British Enfield sniper rig.
