Description:

This is an exceptional example of a 1945 dated WWII British Enfield No. 4 Mk 1(T) sniper rifle that is fitted with a No. 32 Mk III scope and mount. These rifles were the standard WWII British sniper rifles used until the early 1960s. The butt socket is marked "M47C/1945/U33630/TR". It has a black wartime finish and a walnut buttstock, forend and handguards. The comb of the stock is fitted with a hardwood cheekpiece held on with two wood screws. It has the standard blade front sight and a properly trimmed-down "No.7" rear sight. The buttstock has the correct British acceptance proofs along with the "S51" stamping behind the pistol grip area indicating it was converted by H&H and the scope number "28350" stamped on top of the wrist. The underside of the forend is stamped with a struck out serial number along with several small British proofmarks. It is currently fitted with a No. 32 Mk III sniper scope that is marked "TEL. STG/No.32 Mk.III/OS 2039A/A.K. &S No 28350/1945", with a blue "B" stencil on the scope body, standard post and cross-hair reticle pattern, matching individual numbers on the scope ring halves, and a metal base numbered to match the rifle. A brown leather sling is included, as is a 1944 dated set of leather lens protectors, a green metal scope case stenciled to match the rifle on the exterior and hand-numbered to both rifle and scope on a lacquered-over label, and a green painted hardwood transit case for the rifle. A blue "B" (blooming) and red "W" (waterproofed) are stenciled on the scope body.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 98% plus arsenal black finish, showing some mild handling marks and spotting overall. The stock is very fine, with contrasting color and mixed numbers, along with mild scuffing and dents. The adjustments on the scope are stiff (due to grease), and the exterior shows mild wear. The optics are crisp. The scope case shows some mild scuffing and dents, and the transit case has cracked and torn leather, along with a number of scuffs and dings. Mechanically excellent.
