Hi,
I have sourced some CES to go with my gun. Found the little oil bottle and grease gun for on the inside of the shield.
Got the brass stave ends, post war dated (1971) but part numbers the same as war time manual.
Also obtained the striker with extra parts, shoulder rest for the layer, hook for tackle and block. The Carriage cover I already had for 5 or 6 years.
Still looking for the spare parts box on the shield and the tool roll. Anybody got these surplus to their needs?
Does anybody have more info on who made these guns in the UK? The carriage is marked VA Ltd. which probably means Vickers Armstrong. As one of the big armament factories they probably also made the guns? There is not much info to be found on the web about this.
Cheers,
