Hi, does anyone have a picture of what the Bren GAPs look like?
The only handy picture I can think of is in the Grand Old Lady Of No-Mans-Land by Dolf Goldsmith. They are in relation to the Vickers but the GAP's were the same. Rare as rocking horse shi........., er, manure
I would love to read that book, but it's hard to justify spending $500 + .
It is, but not for the Bren/Vickers. Looks like 81mm mortar but BAR will confirm. The Bren Vickers ones are as rare as sailors parachutes
Ok, got off my arse and looked at D Goldsmith, different post indeed. Hell of a set up with all the lamps and bells and whistles the old gun aiming post!
I had some of the lamps, made by Lucas if i remember correctly.
Yes, it's an aiming post, but no CDN from any time I saw. It's not a CDN 81 mortar...Quote:

Might be British or Oz folded down as I've just noticed the little extended foot thinggy for pushing the bottom section into the ground with your boot that we had
Ours just plain looked different.
