steveo578 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 It's the note underneath for express delivery postage- are they expecting their clients are about to beat off an attack by the Kaisers storm troopers:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretfixer Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Yes, it is a Belt Repair tool. But I think he is VERY optimistic at the price of £58!!! They turn up here & there. £25 Quid is more realistic though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REME 245 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Belt repair tool for the riveted belts. Sabre Sales used to have unissued WW1 dated examples for a few pounds but any thing Vickers now attracts silly prices. The sellers is probably a little optimistic.

Richard Fisher Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I've sadly seen them go for more! Being Vickers AND Great War demands so much money now. I can remember buying a couple of hundred of them (in the packing boxes) for about £100 the lot. Gradually got rid of most of them but had the luxury of keeping quite a few for sticking in every box I could find. Would've been a greater rate of return if I'd have kept hold of them.
