Hi
Picked this up car booting. Anyone any thoughts on what its for ?
Absolutely no markings on it.
I'm assuming machine gun cleaning kit ww1 or early ww2

Hopefully attached photos help.

Welcome to the Forum.

I'm wondering German-East/West/German just by the grey coloured pouch?

Pouch is actually heavy brown leather
Dealer who sold this had 2 said they were ex Ulster B Specials / Royal Ulster Constabulary for Lewis or Bren gun.
But I never believe dealers>

To me the piece that folds out from the hook spanner looks like it could be a case extractor.
Measuring the diameter could give a clue to what it is for.

I can't explain why but something makes me think SMG.

The "C" spanner suggests M.G.34/42 flash hider to me but the question is would it fit? How about a few measurements of the "C" spanner, please?

Certainly not an MP34 here's all the kit laid out, and can't think of any other than RN stuff in bluey/grey leather. Could be an M2 kit re housed??

[Flying10uk]

Could you give us some dimensions of the pouch, please? I wonder if the pouch is actually a mag pouch with perhaps unrelated tools/kit inside?

[Gil Boyd]

We'll get there eventually, certainly not Bren
