The famous British Parker-Hale Limited began manufacturing high quality precision shooting accessories in the heart of the gun-making quarter in the year 1880. The founder, A.G. Parker, was a well-known rifleman of the 1st Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment and recognised the need for the supply of shooting aids to his fellow shooters. By 1914 the company's small manufacturing plant was well established and it was not long before the vigorous Ministry of Munitions of those days began calling for training equipment, which was needed almost as desperately as the munitions. The Parkerifling process, coupled with the Hiscock-Parker magazine, enabled service weapons to be converted to .22 calibre for teaching recruits to shoot, and demand was such that the Parker-Hale factory was soon working to full capacity. This is an original World War 1 dated British WD Officer's MK VI .455 calibre Service Revolver officially Parker Hale Ltd Converted To .22 Calibre Training Pistol.

*Vintage* Lyman ‘All American Hunting Scope’ USA 34mm 4X Fixed Focus (No Mounts) OPT 857. - OPT 857
The proud tradition and history of Lyman Products began simply in the late 1800’s when William Lyman, an avid outdoorsman and inventor, created a product that resolved problems with gun sights of his day. The commonly used vernier sights were adequate for daytime shooting, but almost useless if lighting was not perfect. Lyman’s No. 1 Tang Sight featured a small disc and a large aperture, a combination that made the thin rim almost invisible and greatly improved the shooter’s vision. His patented design launched the Lyman Gun Sight Company, and today, the Lyman tang and receiver sights still utilise the same principles originated over 137 years ago to enhance both the sight picture and the speed of aiming. This c1980 34mm 4X fixed focus reticule crosshair rifle scope is all steel, showing minor age-related scuffs. The lenses are scratch free. The price for this collectable scope includes UK delivery.
