73 The original W. Watson & Sons No.32 Mk1 scope matched to this No.4 Mk1 "Trials Rifle" rifle Serial #A0507 was scope Serial #1161.
The original scope has been replaced with the current W. Watson & Sons No.32 Mk1 scope Serial #2597 and matched once again with this same No.4 Mk1 "Trials Rifle" Serial #A0507. To be correct, the #1161 should have been cancelled out with horizontal lines through the number, which has not been done here. It has since been confirmed that this current W. Watson & Sons No.32 Mk1 scope Serial #2597, scope bracket and Case No.8 are KNOWN to not be original to the rifle, having been added and #2597 stamped on the wrist and scope mount recently.
