Richard Auld Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Guys, Had a wander around today and checked out the locations on the 1943 local map. We have a real problem with wild pigs where we are but they have their uses it would appear! Rich 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afrikakorpsrat64 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 @Richard Auld nice to find stuff like that on a walk! I am trying to restore this M24, if you should find a serviceable end piece with the threads for cap, I would be interested, also looking for the head. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Auld Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 Send me your address, when I find one I will send it, got one last night still round but with a little pitting, even has the tiny nails still. I will post it later see if it passes muster, last night shift tonight! Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Auld Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 The 3 circled are not too bad, I think the left one would straighten when fitted and the other two have nails still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Auld Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 Tony, I hope you don't mind that I am posting up the pictures that you sent by PM. I have been poking around again and the pigs are out of control! I will post todays finds when I have cleaned them up. In the mean time here is what Tony has done with the bits I gave him. Glad they have found a purpose! Best Rich 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
