An evolution of the Maxim machine gun the Vickers Gun was a mainstay of the British arsenal through 1968, seeing use on the ground, in the air, and with a number of nations. The Vickers had a reputation for reliable and durable performance, with one battlefield report listing a group of the guns delivering constant fire for twelve hours, going through 100 barrel changes, a million rounds of ammunition and experiencing no weapon failures. Blade front and folding peep rear sight, the former installed on the water cooling jacket and the latter fitted with a fixed 400 yard "battle sight" and a long range staff marked up to "20", presumably 2,000 yards, along with a fixed flip-up "flag" sight. A recoil booster assembly is mounted on the front of the water jacket, with a quick-detach brass belt feeder assembly, a pair of hardwood spade grips that double as oil containers, and a thumb trigger with spring-loaded safety. The Vickers is installed on a Mark IV field tripod, green painted steel/brass construction with traverse swivel and an elevation adjustment screw. Multiple parts are numbered "8632". Included with the gun is a green painted hardwood transit case, one wooden ammo case, two metal ammo cases with hanging supports, multiple lengths of ammo belt (canvas, non-disintegrating metal, and a number of disintegrating links), a small number of spare/loose components, a BP/Shell-Mex marked oil can, and a Finnish marked ammo can.

Fine, with 75% of the blue finish, showing some mild edge wear, spotting and handling marks overall. Some scuffs, dents and cracks are present on the grips. The trigger mechanism needs adjustment. The accessories are good to fine overall, showing wear appropriate to age and handling.
