Another AWSOME day at the British army dump site

[Steve T]

Hi All

Had a great dig with my group members at the British army dump site permission of ours. Had some truly remarkable finds again, and I got so excited I forgot to take pictures of stuff before it was cleaned.  

I got one of the 'group' finds, (stuff found in spoil heaps and therefore shared out at the end of the dig), so that'll have to do ya!

 

 

 

Vickers 303 cloth belt starter tabs. Three different types, one of which was unit marked

 

PIAT rear sight and two trigger gauges.

Ornate trigger guard and a rear sight

Lee-Enfield oil bottles, Bakelite, plastic and brass.

Lee-Enfield ID discs

Browning water jacket corks without the cork. Vickers feed block bottom pawl spring. Split pin from ammo crate.

Lee-Enfield training rifle mock trigger and magazine.

Bren oil bottles.

Bakelite spike bayonet scabbards, No 3 and No 4 'Victory'

Believe this is a bipod clamp off a water cooled MG but not sure. Recognise it?

Browning M1917 cloth belt starter tab

Lee-Metford butt plates

Lee-Enfield butt plates

Long-Lee butt plates, all the tangs nicely marked

Vickers .50 cal MG cloth belt starter tabs

And the best find of the day for me....
