Does anyone recognise this oiler? Is it MoD or civilian?  it could be RAF as my uncle was in service from about 36 to 1953 and was involved in ground crew work. It is quite heavy - almost 1kg! and is extremely well made. 10.5" long x 1.5" diameter.  Marked "O.S. 6252🔝(without the TOP!!) Please keep clean and use only specified oil".  Nickel plated and in good condition. Any ideas / comments appreciated

Thanks in advance Bill

Whilst sorting out to down size, I have this ammo box in wood. It's 16" long 4.5" wide and 9" high. Has been used as a tool box probably by my uncle who was in the RAF from about 1926 to 1958.  Check the photos for condition. It's marked .303 Ball Mk 7 ctn P.L 31-12-49 F.  I can post it...is it worth £10 before it goes on fleabay? Bill

We keep a scrap bin under the bench so that mistakes can be referred to later!! It's surprising how often these bits are used for other parts.  But the old saying is true " The person who never made a mistake never made anything!!"

These items are now sold.  Thanks for your help.  The members of this forum are MAGIC!!!!!😀

That's fine, but I wouldn't have wanted to sell them from under your nose since you'd been so helpful in identifying them!

I've owned two LRs in the past but both S1 86"....

kind regards Bill

Hi, I've had a look on another site & your are right!  Series 2/3 seat mountings.  Before I advertise them are they of use to you? Bill

Thanks Ruxy, I'll post another couple of pics later, but I'm out today Bill

Does anyone recognise these?  Not sure if they have a military application but they are painted green. 18.5" long x 6" to the centre of the mounting holes.  I only have these 4 and they are for sale cheaply if anyone has a use for them.  More pics if required. Thanks for taking the time to look

I don't think they were used this side of the pond but what a lovely find! Everything is there so it should be a doddle. I hope it finds a good home.

A doddle for you maybe;  probably a lifetime's work for anyone else🤣  Bill

Wow! Amazing attention to detail!  Well done; the details make all the difference to a good restoration (imho)

It really is beautiful!  Full marks to you all
