Ron if you go back to Darrens post on May 25th, click on the link he supplied, there is a picture of one on ebay, You're to late to bid on it now.
I think I'm right? But I'm new at this.

Default Here are some detail pics
I got these a few years ago from a collector in the UK.
I think the pic shows a WW1 version, with the cleaning rod fitted through a hole in the cap. The pic in the LP2 manual seems to have a plain cap.

I had a replica made which I stow on the carrier for displays.
I had a tapered flat piece on the end, but now think I misinterpreted the pic.

I'll find a pic of that.

Rob

Most of the UK Vickers accessories came out of Australia when your goverment sold its stocks during the 1980's.

Such barrel carriers in the UK are very rare and cost a lot of money.

The e-bay item looked more like a WW1 gun cover if large enough.
