Too soon ve gets old und too late ve gets schmart
Speaking of boxes, while I have the transit chest for my vickers, how many folks thought to get the transit chest for the tripod? The guy I bought mine from said they burned the tripod chests because nobody was interested.
I guess mine must be rather rare.

I have to admit that I never saw a transit chest for Vickers tripod in the Army, when we still had them in the 60's. We / 7Gurkhas had them in Borneo, in the jungle forts until about August/Sept 69 but no tripod chests

Had one missing the wooden lid straps and internals. Sold it for about about $75. ten or more years ago on ePay. Yours' should be worth twice that easily. Perhaps much more; only one way to find out.
