DEACTIVATED. German WW2 MK151/20 Aircraft Cannon Barrel. - D 2126 DEACTIVATED. The MK151 canon was an important aircraft in German aircraft during WW2. The cannon was developed during the 1940s to replace the drum fed FFM 20mm cannon fitted to the Messerschmitt Bf 109. The cannon was originally developed in 15mm calibre but this was dropped and the gun was developed as a 20 mm cannon called the MK 151/20. This weapon proved very effective, being a belt fed gun especially when used with the Meingeschloss high capacity projectiles. This is an original WW2, MK 151/20mm aircraft cannon barrel that has been recovered from a wrecked German aircraft. The barrel measures 43 ¼ inches in length and is stamped in front of the chamber MG151/20 2005 and 6994. The barrel is bent approximately halfway along its length where the barrel is knurled (See photographs), rendering the barrel incapable of discharging a projectile. This damage will have been caused by the aircraft impacting the ground or crashing. This damage renders the barrel deactivated by condition. The barrel has its mountings lugs to attach it to the gun at the breech. The price includes U.K. delivery, and no licence is required to possess this barrel in the UK if retained as a part of a collection or display.(Under cannon in Armoury). D 2014 £495.00 |

30mm Aden Revolver Cannon off a Hawker Hunter Jet Aircraft. **1998 UK DEACTIVATION CERTIFICATED** & Signed Prototype Hawker Hunter photograph by Bill Bedford (Chief Hawker Siddeley Test Pilot 1956 - 1967). Sn - 21795 The British 30mm Aden revolver cannon was developed from the WW2 German Mauser MK 213 aircraft revolver cannon. This gun was originally made in 20mm and 30mm calibre and was developed by Mauser but never became operational. This gun was developed from an earlier design, the MG 213A which utilized a gas-driven operation. The MG 213, had a direct movement of the revolver cassette which was changed to a diagonal cam with a follower. This actuated a rammer that both fed cartridges into the cylinders and revolved the cassette. Sealing of the chamber was accomplished by packing the cylinder and breech with heat resistant steel. This allowed chamber to revolve while the gas pressure was very high. The revolver cassette had five chambers and at least 3 chambers contained rounds whilst in operation, feeding, firing, and extracting. The gun was looked at for development after WW2 by Switzerland, France, Britain, and the America. The British ADEN cannon was developed eight years later, while the US M39E cannon, first designated T-160, was rushed into combat evaluation during the Korean War. The British developed the cannon in a 20mm high velocity version and a 30mm low velocity short case, the 30 x 84B. Both of these rounds had the same overall length so both cartridges could use the same gun with different chambers and barrels. The 20mm round was dropped from the weapon trials and two 30mm rounds were then used in the trials. One had a 86mm cartridge case which was called the 30mm LV (Low Velocity) Aden and the other with a 110mm cartridge case called the 30mm HV (High Velocity) Aden. Both rounds had the same overall length, the difference being the projectile weight and size, the HV having a lower explosive content. At the outcome of the trials, the 30mm HV gun was adopted and was fitted to the RAFs Hawker Hunter jet fighter. This is a 30mm HV Aden revolver cannon in excellent condition and was originally fitted to a Hawker Hunter aircraft. The gun was one of 4 guns that was fitted to a removable belly pack on that aircraft. This cannon was also fitted in the Harrier VTOL aircraft. The 30mm Aden gun was last used in trials as a 25mm cannon in the late 1990s but was never adopted. The cannon is in excellent condition and is complete with its alloy blast tube, a spare alloy magazine feeder and other fittings. The cannon is bolted to a custom wheeled steel tubular trolly to move the cannon around and display it. Also included is a framed, signed Hawker Hunter prototype photograph by Bill Bedford (the Chief Hawker Siddeley Test Pilot 1956-1967) dated December 1966 measuring approximately 14 x 11 inches. Deactivated in 1998, the cannon is complete with 3 inert rounds in their disintegrating steel links. The price includes the 1998 deactivation certificate and UK delivery which is by arrangement and at cost. Sn 21795 £6,750.00 |

**VERY RARE**ONE OF 4,000**1st VARIANT**WW2 1942 Spanish Star Nazi German Military Contract Model B / Colt M1911 9mm Parabellum Calibre Semi Automatic Pistol For Nazi Heer, Kriegsmarine, Luftwaffe & Fallschirmjager / Paratroopers**2018 UK/EU DEACTIVATION - 20648 The whole family of the "Star" pistol was (and still is) manufactured by the Spain-based company Bonifacio Echeverria, SA. Back in the 1920s the company began to develop semi-automatic pistols, based on the iconic Colt M1911 design. These pistols were more or less similar to the original M1911, but usually chambered for 9x19mm Luger rounds. This is a very rare Second World War Nazi contract 1st Variant Star model B pistol (see Axis Pistols by Still page 120 and pages 123 and 124 where 2nd variant, 3rd & 4th variants are illustrated (1st Variants are not illustrated in his book).

Although Spain remained neutral during WWII it did supply the Nazis with military support and materials. Spanish arms firm Star were contracted to supply Germany with its version of the legendary Colt M1911, the Model B pistol. Initially a small quantity was ordered and in early 1942, 4,000 pistols were delivered. They are referred to as the "first variant" , and differ from all other variants by not being Waffen coded (German acceptance marked) and can only be identified and dated by the serial number and Spanish inspection and proof stamps. The weapons were well built and issued to specialist units within the Nazi army, navy and air force including paratroopers. This example has the correct letter N = 1942 code, letter X within a box symbol and letter P within a flaming grenade proofs. The serial number of our pistol falls within the known range B210951 to B260250 of 1st variants. Correctly there are no external visible Nazi marks on this pistol all confirming it to be a Nazi contract 1st variant. The right place to find all older Star pistol model numbers is on the butt, on the flat plate on the bottom of the gun, just rear of where the magazine is inserted and comprises of a letter and serial number. Our weapon is marked on the butt ‘B’ (model) and number 236808 (within 1st variant Nazi Contract number range). The pistol correctly has matching numbers ‘808’ on the breech and slide.
