Original British WWII Dated M.E.Co Lewis Machine Gun Drum Pouch Carrier Set (Two) Pouches. MISC 831. - MISC 831
. Introduction was 28 May 1917 (List of Changes 18892). An original set of two Lewis Gun Pouches. The Lewis gun (or Lewis automatic machine gun or Lewis automatic rifle) is a First World War–era light machine gun. Designed privately in the United States though not adopted there, the design was finalised and mass-produced in the United Kingdom, and widely used by troops of the British Empire during the war. It had a distinctive barrel cooling shroud (containing a finned breech-to-muzzle aluminium heat sink to cool the gun barrel), and top-mounted pan magazine. The Lewis served until the end of the Korean War, and was widely used as an aircraft machine gun during both World Wars, almost always with the cooling shroud removed, as air flow during flight offered sufficient cooling. These pouches were produced to house the circular magazines used on the Lewis Gun. They were issued to various units during the Great War as well as in the Second World War. Designed to be worn in sets of four pouches (capacity 8 drum mags). The set is in excellent condition which appears to be unissued. The inside of both pouches is crisply stamped ‘M.E.Co 1940’ (Mills Equipment Company) with war department broad arrow. The price for the pair includes UK delivery. MISC 831. (2nd shelf in clear bag)

Cased, WW1 1917 British WD Officer's F-L Swiss Made Verner's Pattern MK VIII Military Marching Compass & WW1 1918 Brown Leather Case by C & R Brinsley with Shoulder Strap. MISC 826 - MISC 826
Colonel William Willoughby Cole Verner was born in 1852 and commissioned into The Rifle Brigade in 1874, retiring in 1904. He served on the staff in the Egyptian campaign of 1884-85 and during the Boer War. He died in 1922. During his career Verner patented several marching Compass designs. Whilst the basic prismatic compass design has its origins in Schmalcalder's patent of 1812 (Patent No 3545), Verner's Pattern is a significant development. Verner's Patents were all pocket compasses. Model numbers were issued to his compasses starting with a Verner's Pattern V with developments through to the VII, VIII and the IX of WW2. Verner's Pattern compasses are both incredibly popular with collectors as well being a compass that can still be practically and easily used today. The most common models are the Verner's Pattern VII and Verner's Pattern VIII which were mainly used during WW1. Their basic construction is a prismatic dry card compass with a both a momentary bearing lock and transit lock. This is an excellent original example of the MK VIII. It is fully functioning. It has a brass case and is mounted with lanyard ring. The glass face and numbered brass outer ring are perfectly intact. The lid is stamped 'Verner's Pattern VIII'. The rear of the case is stamped with WD arrow and by the Swiss manufacturer 'F-L' together with '1917' date and 'no. 84703'. It is complete with brown leather case with hinged top and buckle fastener. The case is impressed '' C & R Brinsley and dated '1918'. The case has its original leather shoulder strap. All leather and stitching of the case are clean & intact. The price includes UK delivery. MISC 826. (Top of Drawers)

Original British WWI 1915 Dated all Steel Wire Cutters. MISC 825. - MISC 825
A wire cutter used by British troops in WWI, this example has steel handles and are designed to slip into a pocket or bag. Wire cutters were typically stored for easy access on a utility belt or in a bag. Barbed wire posed a significant obstacle to attacking troops: it slowed or prevented progress across the battlefield and made soldiers easy targets while they were tangled or being cut free. 'Wiring parties' of engineers were tasked with cutting through barbed wire blockades, often at night, working silently to avoid detection. Measuring 27 ¾ cm in length this example works effortlessly and silently. They are all steel construction and have a hole to one arm to attach a rope or belt for easy access. One arm is stamped ‘WOLSELEY 1915’ (Entering wartime as Britain's largest car manufacturer Wolseley initially contracted to provide cars for staff officers and ambulances. Government soon indicated their plant might be better used for supplies more urgently needed) with a Broad Arrow. A very nice fully working example. The price includes UK delivery.
