You'll either need a fat wallet or be very good at holding your breath...they seem to have been fabricated using that rarest of metals, unobtainium...

Repro. ones are available and may fill the gap while waiting for a genuine example.

I make the leather scope tin straps & other No.32 leather accessories.

...best of luck locating a tin

Callum Ferguson at Precision Rifle Services had one maybe 2 to 3 months ago. No idea if it's still available. http://www.precisionrifles.com/

Ah, wht didn't you say!! I had a couple in the garage that were used for keeping odd screws and nails in! Last weekend they were painted and nailed to the tree in the garden to be used as weather stations for the kids........ I thought they were off a set of old field telephones!
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Did you mate Bugger **** I would have swapped you for a DSR1 that I managed to pick up for fifty quid, but sorry to say I cut it up and am currently using it as an umberella stand :55:
