I have 2 scopes here that I believe are Lee Enfield scopes but I may be wrong. I have no idea what they are worth, I saw one for sale on the bay for £100, I dont know if it sold or not!!! If anyone has any info they want to add feel free. 

£100 or nearest offer 🤷‍♂️20210120_201156.jpg.725f7add1121f2d79a03839686efeab7.jpg20210120_200251.jpg.2164d7b666f99a0157a42a52bba7f547.jpg20210120_200310.jpg.ec90bca72acfb0ff900075187227e2e6.jpg

A lit bit of Google search provides the following information - they do not have any adjustment for elevation or deflection and would probably have been used as a spotting scope on an artillery piece or on a heavy machine gun. Apparently no good for use on a rifle as all the adjustment would have to be on the mount.

They were also used as the sight for the co-axial BESA machine gun in the Mk7 and 8 Churchill gun tank. Some parts may be compatible with the no32 as used on the No4T but not many.

Thanks for that @Lever357
