43rdrecce Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Apparently used in some numbers after the war by the GPO in London. I never could find one despite some serious efforts when I was collecting Lewis Guns and the associated kit. Very nice item!

Charawacky Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 A fantastic item, I do not know anything about this type of transport, but this looks very original with lots of detail. Thanks for posting. Have you any history with it? Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horse Transport Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Very nice where do you find all the items, People bring them to me to be honest, since the first one i got which had been for sale for 2 years people, learnt that i am into Horse Drawn bits of kit and asked me could i restore things for them like the Royal Logistic Corps who i restored a GS wagon for, then some chap see me with the GS wagons at a event and said " i got one of them rotting in my wood" and so on, a chap approached me last year with a great war hand cart sent me some pictures then never heard from him again ! the more i display the kit more people say " i know where there is one of them,or something like that " regards Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
