A nearly complete Vickers Machine Gun, this example has been "deactivated" by means of discarding the right side plate and leaving everything else pretty much where it originally belonged. As none of the parts are fully supported in firing position, and the component regarded as the "receiver" per ATF guidelines is gone, this entire set is no longer a firearm, but if displayed with the left side facing outward, an observer would be hard pressed to tell. In addition to the standard blade and ladder sights, the left side is fitted with a brass support frame for an included Mark I "Lensatic" sight on a 1938 dated Mark IV base, which also has a transport case. Also included with the lot is a steam hose for the water jacket, a black painted steel ammo can labeled for Vickers-belted 303 rounds, and a green painted steel can marked "W(arrow)D/PETROLEUM SPIRIT".
