1956–1992 Yugoslavian M56 (German MP40) 7.62mm Calibre Sub Machine Gun Folding Stock & Sling**UK 2006 DEACTIVATION CERTIFICATED** Sn 17699:8 - 17699:8
The M56 submachine gun is a Yugoslavian submachine gun chambered in 7.62×25mm Tokarev, designed for use with the Yugoslav People's Army. Initially a state-funded product, it saw use in a number of conflicts following the breakup of former Yugoslavia including the Vietnam War, Lebanese Civil War & Gulf War. The M56 is a clone of the Nazi German WW2 MP 40 submachine gun, easily distinguished from the MP 40 by its increased length and curved magazine. While inexpensive to produce and easy to maintain, the M56 also proved to be quite effective at range over its German counterpart; its 7.62 mm cartridge providing significantly more penetration over the 9×19mm round found in the MP 40.This is an excellent, M56 sub machine gun. Deactivated to UK specification in 2006 the weapon’s trigger moves, The cocking handle marked ‘Ukoc’ (brake) & ‘Otkoc’ (unbreak) rotates as it should and its magazine can be removed. This example has excellent metal work throughout, with folding stock that fits snugly and functions perfectly as it should. It has the correct grooved plastic grips and plastic stock. The rear of the breech housing is stamped with Yugoslavian crest and number ‘E-71365’. The weapon has other un-matching stamped codes which are most likely parts / stores numbers. The breech has a hand etched number ‘71365’ which matches the breech housing number. The bottom of the magazine has a stores/ parts number (numbers illustrated in image 2).

**DEACTIVATED** 40MM Bofors L/60 Anti-Aircraft Gun On 4 Wheeled Towed Trailer With Full Working Electric Powered Traverse & Elevation. - D 5962
The Bofors 40 mm Automatic Gun L/60 was commonly called the Bofors gun and is a fully automatic anti-aircraft gun designed in the 1930s by the Swedish arms manufacturer AB Bofors. The gun was designed as an intermediate anti-aircraft gun, filling the gap between fast firing close-range small calibre anti-aircraft guns and slower firing long-range high calibre anti-aircraft guns. The Bofors L/60 was produced for export in 1932 and was in service with 18 countries by 1939. The gun was used throughout World War II mainly by the Allied forces although a small number were used by Nazi Germany and Hungary. Post-war in the mid-1950s the L/60 Bofors gun was replaced in NATO service by the more powerful L70 Bofors gun but the earlier L/60 gun remained in service by many countries due to the large number of surplus guns available. These guns were modified to have fully powered traverse and elevation giving them greater use, some being used in the Yugoslav and Gulf wars. The Bofors L/60 is still in service in the American Air Force in the Lockheed AC 130 gunships. This Bofors L/60 gun was built at the Royal Ordnance Factory Newport or Nottingham (see breach inspection plate) during the Second World War and is mounted on a steel chassis with a fold out centre section forming a cruciform shape for stability with screw jacks on the ends. There are also stabilising screw jacks at the front and rear of the carriage. The gun is complete with its self-contained petrol generator batteries to provide power to electrical generator to operate the electric motors on the traverse and elevation which are adjustable for rates of speed. The gun is fitted with a small gun shield to help protect the firer from small arms fire and is complete with the ammunition storage trays. The gun was manufactured in WW2 although that identification plate is difficult to read for R.O.F N (Royal Ordnance Factory Newport or Nottingham). The gun was further modified in Britain in 1952 by the addition of electric motors to power the traverse and rotation by Rotax, London, England as shown on the motor identification plate. The gun was then later modified in Yugoslavia in 1971 to a 40MM M12A1 specification as shown on a further identification plate. This excellent condition 40MM L/60 Bofors anti-aircraft gun from World War 2 has seen extensive use post war. See Hogg, British & American Artillery of World War Two, pages 97 – 100.

The Vickers machine gun is a water-cooled .303 British machine gun produced by Vickers Limited, originally for the British Army. The gun was operated by a three-man crew but typically required more men to move and operate it: one fired, one fed the ammunition, the others helped to carry the weapon, its ammunition, and spare parts. It was in service from before the First World War until the 1960s, with air-cooled versions of it on many Allied World War I fighter aircraft. This WW1 MK1 fluted jacket .303 Vickers Heavy Machine gun is with cradle/ pintle and tripod. The machine gun has WD inspection marks and is marked with serial number 'L3943’ which identifies its maker as ‘Erith’ (L) and the number 3943 dates its manufacture to March 1916 (see page 58 of ‘The Grand Old Lady Of No Man’s Land’ by Goldsmith. The author describes Erith (the Vickers works, beside the Thames at Erith, Kent, England) as making ‘L’ series Vickers from 1911 through to 1916 and remarks that they are some of the scarcest Vickers). 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 early UK specification in 1996 the gun cocks and dry fires, its breech covers can be opened and the scarce to find steel ammo feed tray can be removed.

SOLD SOLD (20/11) 1943 British BSA MK III* Besa 7.92mm Calibre Tank & Armoured Vehicle Machine Gun**EARLY UK 1995 DEACTIVATION CERTIFICATED** Sn 20067:61 - 20067:61
The Besa machine gun was a British version of the Czechoslovak ZB-53 air-cooled, belt-fed machine gun (called the TK vz. 37 in the Czechoslovak army).The name came from the Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA), who signed an agreement with Československá zbrojovka to manufacture the gun in the UK. The War Office ordered the weapon in 1938 and production began in 1939, after modifications. It was used extensively by the armed forces of United Kingdom during the Second World War as a mounted machine gun for tanks and other armoured vehicles as a replacement for the heavier, water-cooled Vickers machine gun. Although it required a rather large opening in the tank's armour, it was reliable. Although British forces used the .303 in rimmed round for rifles and machine guns, the ZB-53 had been designed for the German 7.92×57mm Mauser round; referred to by the British as the 7.92 mm. The British had intended to move from rimmed to rimless ammunition but with war imminent, wholesale change was not possible. It was considered by BSA and the Ministry of Supply that the industrial, technical and supply difficulty of converting the design to the .303 round would be more onerous than retaining the original calibre, especially given that the chain of supply for the Royal Armoured Corps was already separate from the other fighting arms of the British Army and the round was not changed for British production. Since the Besa used the same ammunition as Germany used in its rifles and machine guns, the British could use stocks of captured enemy ammunition ( a period image of a British Vickers Light Tank mounted with 4 Besa machine guns is illustrated in image 1). Our WW2 dated MK III* Besa Machine gun has all of its original black finish. The gun is serial number C39367 and is marked with model and calibre detail together with ’43 date (illustrated). The gun is 44” overall length. Deactivated to early UK specification in 1995 the gun’s trigger moves & the breech cover opens. The price includes deactivation certificate. Due to size and weight delivery will be by arrangement within the UK only and at cost**we can arrange for this firearm to be brought up to the latest UK/EU specification for UK customers (customers can purchase on our lay-away scheme.

This is an excellent example of the Madsen box belt fed variant (the belt feed mechanism was built into the box magazine which was mounted to 2 hooks on the side of the action. Our gun is without magazine box). Madsens with bi-pods were issued to infantry and some as with ours with large rear sighting ‘D’ frame, rear adjustable sight & winged fore sight were intended for mounting to aircraft, tanks & armoured vehicles. The all steel construction Machine gun has undamaged metal work and original black paint. The frame is stamped 'MADSEN' & is serial number 20599, the number is repeated inside the action.
