Terry: The bracket I was talking about is the sheet metal bracket inside the little can that the telescope bracket would be fastened to. Often, if a military can or chest is re-purposed, someone will remove the internal brackets and hurt the value of the can.

For once Rob, we're both right. In several British references the terminology for the telescope base is bracket, and in North America it is the mount.

Rob I have found more of this kind of stuff so I think I had better do as you suggested and start a pile for Switzers.

You are just going to miss the deadline for their next auction. They are releasing the listings in a couple days for the auctions which occur in a week or two. But there will be another auction after that. The returns are too good, with the auction house charging the seller 25%, and the buyer paying another 15%. But the prices on this stuff have gone to stupid levels over the covid.



Lucky you to have saved up some of this stuff. I suspect you will see a nice return on it. Enfield sniper stuff is always hot.
