    L-42 CES; that lens brush and bottle

    I bet I am not the only L-42 owner on this forum who has a complete CES except for that funky lens brush and bottle. Clearly, when they show up the price is gold plated or should I say solid gold. I am curious how many fellow owners are willing to pay $500-1000 for an authentic brush and bottle. It seems amazing that the L-42 is the only package that used that accessory. Is that true ?

    I started researching old posts and my post would be beating a dead horse. An unfortunate problem with no answer. Sorry for bringing up a sore subject.

    The plastic bottle originated from the 84MM Carl Gustav CES, unfortunately they are obsolete too!

    I have an exact model of one if anybody wants one for their wall, The venturi doesn't open but every other detail is correct. It has an original sight/Venturi cover/pistol grip and face pad.??
    I made two, one for our Museum at Duxford. I even used rubber matting for the rifling to make it authentic and sprayed silver.......................bargain and I made a wall bracket for it to!
