Hi philj

I was reading a feed you were involved in back in 2017 regarding a Broadhurst Clarkson scope dating 1940's and if they were genuine or replica. I also have have one of these scopes but was not sure from the listing which was the repro

Mine looks very similar to one of the pictures, the end brass ring is smooth, the leather on it is in very good condition, my concern is the markings it is stamped B C & Co not spelt in full. The letters are in a 3 tier box.

The rest of the markings are Tel Sct R E GT MK IIS 10468 DS126GA. The scope is in a leather case like the photos, I have also been told that they may have come as part of a kit in a wooden box ?

Hope you can help

  Hi
  
  If you mail on personal mail a couple of photos I will be able to tell straight away, its not so much the engraving as the machining. Also if you get a decent image through it, its more likely genuine as the repros are rubbish.
