25 pdr platform handles
 
An unusual find but I have several reconditioned Gun sets of platform handles for the 25 pdr, front and rear respectively.
I can strip them down if anyone just needs the handles and chains.
Firing mechs also available.

will post anywhere

Rob,

How much are you wanting for these?

plateform handles
 
Hello Tony.

They are £150 (£75 each) a gun set but due to the cost of postage if its the handles, chains and fixing bolts you are missing I can strip the units down and send what you need to make postage a lot cheaper.
Generally the carriages have the handle carriers still attached as they are riveted on and normally the handles have been removed.

Ironically I had a 25 pdr in last year that had one complete carrier missing, someone had ground the rivets off and removed it so I fabricated one from scratch and then these turn up, could have saved a lot of time and effort !

Mmm........I sold my last spare spade box a month ago to an Artillery Association from shoeburyness along with some other bits to complete their 25 pdr.
25 pdr parts and accessories are becoming a real problem to find now even over here where stocks lasted for quite some time after the guns were removed from service. There's a lot of people out there looking for bits and very little to be found.
My best find recently were a number of telescope cases for the 17 and 25 pdr , previously I must have had half a dozen through my hands in as many years.
