hi,
I am after a Vetterli Vitali as they are known preferrably with a hand imprinted on the stock as these were smuggled guns into Northern Ireland during the troubles around 1916 and are known as the Larne guns which is the port they were taken into. They stil come up occasionaly. Why would I want one of these? Well a battalion of the Britishicon Home Guard had a load brought over as they had no arms after Dunkirk and they were something rather than nothing! I collect the different weapons that the Home Guard used during WW2 hence I have Martini Henry carbines in the collection as well as Thompsons. If any one out there has a spare Smiths Gun I would happily pay you for it!!
