I just dragged home 120 Bren chests from the scrapyard today to go with the 110 I dragged home a couple weeks ago. Still about another 100 scrapped ones out there I have to grab the hardware off of. They have those same swivel hasps as used on things like artillery tractor bins, and various transit chests ranging from sniper chests to vickers and mortar chests.
So gradually the yard is making it's way here.

Speaking of heated shop, yesterday I was stripping some of the lesser condition Bren chests of their hardware and throwing the remnants into the woodstove. After a bit I noticed it was getting pretty hot in the shop. I went to open the stove and for the first time ever the wooden handle was quite hot. I ttied to turn down the damper, but the plastic knob had gotten too soft inside to turn. I had to open the door and toss in a couple cans of water to get things under control. I guess I underestimated the heat produced by cosmoline soaked wood. Last edited by rob love; 20-11-14 at 23:40.

well you have some good finds there Rob ,I have also been on a hunting trip recently and amongst the items were three Nos crated and sealed No5 Air pumps.
Temptation has got the best of me so I carefully opened one to check the contents and this is what I found. They have been swiftly moved to one of my collection rooms so unfortunately they are not for sale. Rob.................rnixartillery. Last edited by rnixartillery; 27-07-19 at 20:59.

Artillery ground anchor pins???
How many of these pins were issued to a gun, and where were they stowed? Sorry about the blurred pic Niels , it's the only one I could find, courtesy Dirk in Holland. Also sought after muzzle brake pics. Cheers Rob
