Default Whetcroft Carrier

Hi, I think this carrier belongs to the Wheatcroft collection, not open to the general public, anyone got any contacts to view this carrier, just interested in the rear stowage mounts, they look not far off the originals.

Also attached pics of another original British stowage bracket for the centre wood for the barrell hole, thanks neil.

The catch over the top of the barrell looks like it connects to a spring. See the photo you posted. (post #21)
