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)
