I really think that between the scarcity of these items, along with their good condition, will see a real bidding frenzy. I can see throwing away common sense come the end.
Midwest military has repros of the snail for $50.

I'd quite like to have the grab handles! My current wooden handles are off an old pair of garden shears. Hollowed out and glued on. They look OK but it would be nice to have the real thing. Maybe whoever wins them could get some repros made? However I have got one of the canvas bags for spare track links. Never put that value on it though. Ron

the track wrench would be nice too.....mind an impact socket and a bar is much more cheaper the track jack is up to 320 GBP if i may be as bold to say...and i apologise if i cause offence....but methinks you need your head read to pay that for a jack ! each to their own but i think i will pass on that one.

That's a crazy price for a track jack. Dad picked up a pair of old bumper jacks for $5 each, and with a bit of work you can turn them into track jacks easy.

Did anyone check the list that Brian Asbury has for sale against the E bay listings? I do believe Brian has a number of the items, at a better price. Yes, there are some rare items as well, but... a quick price comparison before hitting the button may save some $$$$$ on some items. Oh, then there is Canada Post!.... Geeeze.
Just my 2 cents.

guys the convoy lamp assembly he has listed (with incorrect part number) its for a Mk2...if anyone has a Mk2 it may be worth the cash although not for much more than its at at the mo.. the light fitting looks like a house hold bayonet fitting i would have expected this to be a water tight affair ?

Gents,
Some of these items in this collection of "stuff" appears to be somewhat misleading. The last two posted items are cleverly suggested to be Canadian Bren Carrier Issue. They are not. Heres what the early issue adjustable and open end wrenchs are supposed to look like.
FYI
Harris
