Unusual looking implement!
Has that item on the bonnet of the Jeep been identified Tony? It reminds me somewhat of a 12.7 mm the Japanese Army used in some of their aircraft that seems to have been based on the Browning design.

Browning

It is a genuine gun and still has all the makers details and serial number on it. I suspect it came out of a plane, but I am not sure. It is a .30 cal Browing MSG. Cheers Tony

.
It doesn't look quite "right" for a .30 Browning...little short, little tall...grip at sorts the wrong angle...
Just my nickles' worth...(we don't do pennies here anymore...)

Hi Tony
The inscription leaves no doubt about the identity of the piece but it's a version that appears to be rather uncommon. It just doesn't look right although it does look to have some similarity to the interwar cavalry version as illustrated in my Small Arms of the World. David

It is genuine
Hi Charlie and Dave
Yes the pistol grip is not genuine, it is one I made up until I can get the right one. I also had some doubts about the looks until I looked it up on the net and found a couple of versions with the slotted barrell cover holes. See attached. I was more used to seeing the models with the round holes.  Cheers Tony

Hi Tony
The one (or is it two?) in your second photo appears to be identical to what you have with the trunnion mounting forward of the receiver. A nice little conversation piece. David

That's it

You are correct. A mate has offered me the rear handles and I am in the process of converting it to gas firing. Cheers Tony
