With the trade of the Unertl 'scope for this BSA Martini .22 LR, I have now completed the TCR-83 trade.
It's not actually a "thing of beauty", but it is a functioning rifle with a 'pristine' bore. It's a bit beat up from my perspective, but I'm not familiar with the condition most of these rifles are in these days. I'm not sure what's "original" and what's not, but all the pieces are British-made. The other fella probably got a better deal cost-wise, but I got another Martini, and more importantly, I got a rifle that I like for a 'scope that was essentially useless to me.
The pictures are of marginal quality, but here's what it look likes:
