Hi Phillip,
Thanks for the images: really useful and much appreciated. Could you possibly provide a measurement set for the Illumination equipment case, please? Length x Width x Height?  Thanks Mike

Cheers Phillip,
Now I know what sort of box I am looking for. Won't worry about the contents, but will keep you in mind, in case I find the missing parts. At the risk of wearing out my welcome, is anyone able to provide dimensions, photos, and/or information on the two wooden (I assume) boxes that go on the right hand side of the gun, as viewed in the following photo. 25-pounder-carriage-mk.i-3-resized-960.jpg

An eagerly awaited package arrived in the mail yesterday.
dsc_0135-resized-960.jpg dsc_0136-resized-960.jpg My NOS rope for the shield. It's beautiful. Even smells nice, like old hemp (or whatever it is). Wasn't cheap, but good things rarely are. I believe more are available if anyone wants one. PM me if interested. It's an Australian military equipment seller, and I don't begrudge the $130AUD it cost. The more genuine parts I can add to my gun, the better.

I have seen two sizes of the drag ropes. The 2 and six pounders are thinner rope than the 25 pounder rope. I have found a few examples kicking around in various boxes at the museum, including a NOS one which had the ends cut off and used simply for the rope to wrap a Jeep bumper.
