Manufactured by Project Guns LLC. of Boca Raton, Florida using a mixture of newly made and original parts. Based on the successful Maxim design, the Vickers machine gun was a mainstay of the British military through both World Wars and found itself used in conflicts around the world up to the present day. Known for their rugged reliability, the 100th Company of the British Machine Gun Corps is said to have fired their 10 Vickers machine guns for 12 hours straight, expending over one million rounds during action in 1916. This example has the standard fixed blade front and adjustable rear peep sights graduated to "29", non-fluted water jacket, standard British proofs and military acceptance marks, wood grips, and checkered push button "trigger". Includes a green painted cast brass tripod marked "MOUNT. TRIPOD. M.G. MK. IV." on the side with full traverse and elevation adjustment, a cartridge box, wooden transport crate, crate of maintenance and repair tools, a leather box, an oil can, two water cans, and a dashboard style mount.

Very fine as assembled, retains 95% plus of the matte green finish and mostly bright brass with some scattered light wear. The grips are also very fine with a few minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The accessories are fine or better with some showing some moderate wear and others near new.

Used for training the Tommys how to properly assemble, disassemble, load, and service the Vickers machine gun. All of the major components have been stamped "DP" to show that this is not a serviceable weapon as is designated entirely for "Drill Purpose". Fixed blade front and adjustable rear peep sights graduated to "29", fluted water jacket, standard British proofs and military acceptance marks, wood grips, and checkered push button "trigger". The cocking handle does cycle; however, there is no connection to any type of firing mechanism. Includes a green painted cast brass tripod marked "MOUNT. TRIPOD. M.G. MK. IV." on the side with full traverse and elevation adjustment.

Very good, retains 80% plus of the refinished blue with some scattered mild wear and some scattered light pitting visible under the finish.
