Hi

Absolutely no markings on it.
I'm assuming machine gun cleaning kit ww1 or early ww2

Hopefully attached photos help.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Welcome to the Forum.

I'm wondering German icon

-East/West/German just by the grey coloured pouch?

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??

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>

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** · 05-20-2017 09:18 AM

We'll get there eventually, certainly not Bren
