A friend popped in today and produced a steel tobacco sized tin finished in green from his pocket. A cleaning kit for an SLR in a tin dated 1965 plus some other stuff.
A closer look revealed various .303 Bore gauges:
Tatlow .303
Bisley Works AGP .303
BSA .3032
Parker .3035
Parker .30375
Parker .30375 CG&Co Ltd
Rather a nice find I thought

Excellent find, they are nice items to have. I've noticed one or two dealers still use them and give the bore size of their rifles on sale.
Parker also used to market them in sets, with nice oak cases - here are some from my .303 collection:

A nice collection there Gingercat, it looks like my sparse start has a few gaps in it

I have been looking out for some .303 bore gauges and they are quite tricky to find

I found all mine on 'that auction site', but they don't often come up.
