The Littlest LP2A?

[Ian Patrick]

There is also this item held by Museum Victoria;

Also built by Metro Gas Company but appears to be closer to 1/16 scale than 1/4 scale.

The one in the US was at the Bendigo swap meet back in about 1999 2000, and as I had just bought a complete uncut carrier for the same amount I thought it way to expensive little did I know.

It was on the stall of James Swann

Having learnt from my mistake I bought the one on Ebay a few months ago... Its sitting on a shelf behid me as I type...

I am unsure if it is an apprentice model or not, it is made from 16 guage I believe with wooden rollers and leather tracks... The Gun looks to be a .50 cal rather then a Bren or vickers.

a ha! Well my memory isn't too bad. I got the all metal bit wrong though.
Well done Tim.

Well, I'll give it a try: four images of the LP2A model at the Littlefield Collection.

Hmmmm; these seem a little on the small size. The painted label detailing the scale and manufacturer is across the rear. The label on the front right guard is a pseudo AIF number, but reads '1939-45', so if that is original, then this model has to have been made by METGASCO post war. There is also the number '4' in red: maybe there was a small 'production run' of these? Interested in others views, especially Tim (who appears to have one of the others from this 'production run' - they look pretty similar).
