VICKERS HEAVY MACHINE GUN
This is an awesome package ! It was originally manufactured in 1917 and went to Portugal to get inventoried after WWI then eventually it came to the United States 1
Includes 3 extra barrels, one is 8mm and has a lock and feed block for it.
Original Chadwick illuminated aiming module. (you would put two of these out to establish a firing cone vector, then pull the cord to turn them on… and fire back and forth between the lights) Super rare I understand.
4 original ammo boxes – 3 are full belts (2 with new ammo, the aircraft box is original ammo) 1 additional fabric belt (750 rounds of ammo total included – .303 brit)
Vickers oiler box w/cans
British MG marked condenser can – broad arrow stamped and dated from the 50’s
Spare firing pin
Original condensing house
wrench
spring tension-er
The ammo can hanger … is the only reproduction item here. Made in the 90’s I believe
Gun, all parts on it including top cover, lock and tripod are matching numbers. Looks like the actual cradle is a few years older though, marked 1915 and has a different serial number. I’m sure it’s original to the gun however when it was put together and boxed, then shipped to Portugal originally.
Box is original condition, original paint, and marked for shipping in Portuguese. Inside the lid is a 1947 inventory number written in pencil. I believe that would have been when it left Portugal for South Africa.
Shipping on this item is $300
