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 + .

Is this a Gun aiming Post ?

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...

I'll supply some pics of the Vickers/Bren GAP's in the days to come. I'm cleaning up a set.

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
