[bruce m]

Greetings Forum,

Can someone here reach out to me regarding the identification of a British No. 32, MK II Sniper scope.
Here's the scoop on the scope.

Tel Sighting
No. 32 MKII
OS. 1650A
1944 No. 16463

Specifically I wish to research the manufacture and approx. numbers made etc.
Surprisingly there is little information on the web for details.
Drop me a PM if you can help.

Thanks in advance,
Bruce M

To give you a very general overview of Brit No32Mk1/II/3 scopes:

Mark I scopes run from approx 1000 to approx serial 5000s. You have a fairly late MkII scope as the transition the MkIII (depending on manufacturer) is in the 16,000s.
MkIII/Mk3 scopes run from about 16500 thru approx 30000.

The Brits assigned serial number blocks to the various optics manufacturers so there may be repeated or skipped number zones.

If you want to research the scopes, there is only 1 booklet that I'm aware of and it is the one published by Peter Laider in the late 80s/early 90s.
It has been reprinted by BDLLTD.com
and he may have copies left.
