**RARE**WW1 British WD & WW2 Australian Lithgow Marked Vickers Heavy Machine Gun Cooling Jacket Brass Coupling & Oil / Water Rubber Cooling / Steam Hose By Waxman Industries Ltd. MISC 824 - MISC 824
The Vickers was a water-cooled weapon. Each water-jacket contained 7.5 pints of water when full. The rate of boiling depended upon the rate of fire. The earliest considerations to water and how it was affected by freezing conditions, which then caused too much friction on the barrel and the recoiling portions of the gun, were made during the Maxim’s service. Experiments were overseen by the Small Arms Committee and included oil as well as water initially. This is an excellent clean original WW1 British WD & WW2 Australian Lithgow Marked Vickers Heavy Machine Gun Cooling Jacket Brass Coupling & Oil / Water Rubber Cooling / Steam Hose By Waxman Industries Ltd (see page 44 of ‘The Grand Old Lady Of No Man’s Land’ by Goldsmith where a Vickers with coupling & hose fitted are illustrated. The images are reproduced in our images). The heavy brass coupling has the correct winged rotating collar. The brass block has British WD arrow and ordnance inspection mark indicating British WW1 issue. The collar has ordnance inspection mark and ‘MA 3/’ (Lithgow), indicating later WW2 issue to Australian forces (illustrated). The period black Rubber hose has manufacturer detail printed along its length ‘Waxman Ind Ld’ together with size and stores codes (illustrated). The hose including the coupling measures 98" length. The price for this rare WW1 accessory includes UK delivery. MISC 824 (NB We have Vickers HMGs available separately on our website) (hose on shelves storeroom near entrenching equipment)

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.

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'.
