**RARE MAKER**WW1 1916 British WD Erith (Kent) MK 1Vickers .303 Calibre Heavy Machine Gun With Scarce Steel Ammo Feed Tray, Fluted Jacket, Matching 1916 Date MK IV Cradle/ Pintle By RH & S & Tripod**EARLY UK 1996 DEACTIVATION CERTIFICATED**Sn 20534 - 20534
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. The tripod is in excellent original condition with original green paint. The tripod has a graduated dial & designation markings (all illustrated). The cradle / pintle of the tripod has maker mark ‘RH & S’ together with 1916 date which matches the gun’s year of manufacture (all illustrated). The gun and tripod have other un-matching numbers.

WW2 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.

The Russian Degtyaryov DP-28 machine gun (Degtyaryov's infantry machine gun) is a light machine gun firing the 7.62×54mmR cartridge that was used primarily by the Soviet Union starting in 1928. The DP had a reputation as an effective light support weapon. It was nicknamed the "Record player" (proigryvatel) by Red Army troops because the disc-shaped pan magazine resembled a gramophone record and its top cover revolved while the weapon was fired. After WW2 the Chinese Communists used the DP in the Korean War and copied the DPM as the Type 53.
