Rick,
Thanks for the photo of the spring and scear arm. Not actually seen the 'guts' before. Museum of Artillery, Woolwich: It appears the museum is still there, but sadly, will be closing in 2017 through lack of visitors/funding. Many of the arms have already been moved to another museum. I would hope they will be put on display as If left in storage, all kinds of evil can befall them. Kind regards, Richard. |

Hi Richard.
Yes, it might be the only original "spare" around. Neven seen another for sale. I pick up those parts as I find them in case I or another collector has a need at some time. It's always sad to hear of an arms museum closing due to a lack of outside interest. Rick. |
