The DP had a reputation as an effective light support weapon.

Pre 1918 Winchester 1879 Patent (Mod 1885) ‘Winder Musket’ .22 Long Round Calibre Falling Block Single Shot U.S. Military Training Rifle**UK 2003 DEACTIVATION CERTIFICATED** D 1520 - D 1520 The Winder musket was a .22 calibre training rifle used by the U.S Army in the early 20th Century. The weapon was the brainchild of Colonel C. B. Winder, who advocated marksmanship training with a rifle of similar size and weight to a service rifle but chambered in .22 rim fire, which was both economical and suitable for indoor ranges. The Winder Musket was based on the Winchester Model 1885 single shot rifle. Although it was never officially referred to as the Winder musket, the weapon was informally named in honour of Colonel Winder, and has since generally been referred to as the Winder musket. The Winder Musket was superseded by the 1922 Model bolt-action training rifle. Winder Musket serial number records are sketchy having several gaps in the record log. Winders made in 1918 and 1919 were given the designation ‘Model 87’. This is an excellent original example of the Winder Musket. It has Winchester 1879 Patent information on the barrel together with calibre detail and manufacturer trade mark stamped on the top steel action tang. It is serial number ‘116903’ (all illustrated). It has a 28” round steel barrel (43 ¾” overall), an adjustable rear target sight and block & blade fore sight. It has a steel butt plate, fore end block, barrel bands and sling swivels. The metal has even patina. The Musket has excellent all original undamaged wood work which has just minor bumps and bruises consistent with age and use. It has an external hammer. Deactivated to UK specification in 2003 the weapon’s falling block and firing mechanism work crisply. The price includes deactivation certificate & UK delivery. D 1520 £845.00 |

**UNIQUE**THE OLDEST SURVIVING AUSTRALIAN WD VICKERS (SERIAL NUMBER 12)**Transit Cased Inter War 1929-1931 Production WW2 Lithgow Vickers MK 1 .303 Calibre Heavy Machine Gun With Cased WW2 1942 Dated MK IV Tripod**UK 2001 DEACTIVATION CERTIFICATED* D 1298 - D 1298 This Australian built Vickers MK1 .303 Machine gun serial number 12 is believed to be the oldest surviving Australian gun left out of a total of 12.344 made. The small arms factory at Lithgow New South Wales was set to make Australia self sufficient in the production of small arms after the devastating losses of WW1 and to remove the dependence on Great Britain for small arms supply. It was to be a sensible move; after Dunkirk it was Great Britain that became reliant on Australia for additional arms production. The 1st Lithgow Vickers No.1 was delivered to the Australian army on 3rd May 1929 but by the end of 1931 only 56 guns had been delivered-it was peacetime & there was little sense of urgency. By the time war broke out, production had reached 697 guns, but accelerated rapidly. The last gun made number B2344 was delivered on 27th June 1945. This smooth jacketed .303 Vickers Heavy Machine gun is with transit case & cased WW2 dated tripod. The machine gun is marked with serial number '12' below WD. It is also stamped MA (Lithgow) marks and other inspection marks (illustrated). It is fitted with flip up long range sight and has excellent undamaged wood firing handles. The machine gun retains near 100% of its original finish. Deactivated to UK specification in 2001 the gun cocks and dry fires, its breech cover can be opened and the feed tray can be removed. The tripod is in excellent original condition with original green paint and is marked ‘Mount Tripod MG MK IV’. It is also stamped with 1942 date and serial number. (The tripod and dial markings are illustrated in image 2). The Vickers and tripod are accompanied by their original wood transit cases with correct compartments and rope handles. The cases retain their original green paint and stencilled lettering. The price includes deactivation certificate. Due to the size and weight of this piece delivery will be by arrangement and at cost. D 1298 £7,450.00 |

WW2 1943 - 1944 Australian WD Lithgow Vickers .303 Heavy Machine Gun With 1943 Dated Mount By RT (Randwick Tramways) & MK IV Tripod**UK 1999 DEACTIVATION CERTIFICATED**Sn 20067:31 - 20067:31 This is an excellent clean WW2 dated smooth jacketed .303 Vickers Heavy Machine gun with mount & tripod. The machine gun is marked with serial number 'B6799' which identifies it as being a Lithgow Vickers made between 1944 & 1945 (see page 266 of ‘The Grand Old Lady Of No Man’s Land’ by Goldsmith. The author cites the last serial number as B2344 although total production as 12,344, which may be because a number of guns were reconfigured and assigned ‘B’ prefix serial numbers). The gun has WD arrow and Lithgow ‘MA’ marks. It is fitted with flip up long range sight and has excellent undamaged wood firing handles. The machine gun retains its original finish. Deactivated to UK specification in 1999 the gun cocks and dry fires crisply, the breech cover opens. The feed block is numbered A402 and was MA with WD arrow marks. The detachable gun mount is stamped ‘RT’ (Randwick Tramways) and is dated 1943. The tripod is in excellent original condition with original green paint and is marked ‘Mount Tripod MG MK IV’. It has the correct graduated dial and inspection marks (illustrated). The price includes deactivation certificate. Due to the size and weight of this piece delivery will be by arrangement and at cost. Sn 20067:31 £4,500.00 |
