Wanted, kit to complete Fox stowage
 

As the fasted growing "For Sale or Trade" web site for military-related items, I submit the following:

Wanted:

Case for British/Canadian sighting telescope as in the attached picture. Filled would do as well.

Satchel, Anti-Gas (Anti-Gas Valise).

Bren cleaning rod, 'D' Handle type.

Thompson Machine Gun Spares and Tools Box

Oil Can, 1 Quart.

Any help much appreciated,

Bruce

Why not showing more pics of your Fox, Bruce ?
You make me curious !

Met een vriendelijke groet,

See eBay
 

Pinky,

Please see the picture of the item on eBay. I know that you would rather have the one that is in my modest collection - and I have the thingmie that goes inside also. The item opictured ( and mine ) does not look exactly like the one you have posted.

For you I will make a special deal ...;)

R.E.L CANADA RANGEFINDER CASE 1942 Item number: 2228435880

Tease
 

Stewart:

I was about to offer a sacrifuce to the Gods on your behalf. It took three readings of the description to realize this case is 14" long and the one I need would have to be at least 17".

So no virgin into the volcano, a beer in the fridge for effort though.

As to the thingie in the basement, perhaps a visit here to see what bobbles I have that may similarly enthral you?

My Thingmie is 14 3/8 inches long ...
 

... so it is too small for you - but just right for me. Well, I think it is - I am not really sure what it is for.

I shall bring it with me when I get down to see you next. I enjoy these getaways to see how the other restoration folks are getting on.

With a Gun Club work party on the 6th, and a weekend hunting for militaria near Montreal on the 12/13th - it may be a few weekends tho'.

Please remind me to ask you about a 2" mortar tube end cover. I am trying to reproduce one, but have only a few pix from the net to work with.

Case is for...
 

...a Sighting Scope No.22 used on Bofors guns. I'm equally eager to find a 2" cap. I have a pattern, the hardest part to reproduce being the brass buckles. There is an outfit in the UK, 'Pegasus', that has talked of repro-ing these. They do good work, the last thing from them being canvas for PIATs.

Another scope case on ePay, but not quite the same either, item number: 2229170349

Thanks
 

This looks like the Australian version of the one I'm looking for. They seem to use a tapered case rather than the stepped British & Canadian ones. I shall be watching this, thank you.
