.
Deactivated Rare British Aircraft Vickers MKII .303 Heavy Machine Gun. Rare, but incomplete rare MKII Aircraft Vickers gun with working (stiff) action and overall good deactivated condition. This particular version is mentioned on page 313 of The Grand Old Lady of No Man's Land. The Vickers Gun was adopted in 1912 and retired from service in 1968, the Vickers Machine Gun can best be summed up by Ian V. Hogg, the well-known and respected small arms expert. He describes an action that took place in August, 1916, during which the British Army's 100th Company of the Machine Gun Corps fired their ten Vickers guns continuously for twelve hours. They fired a million rounds between them, using 100 new barrels, without a single breakdown. 'It was this absolute fool proof reliability which endeared the Vickers to every British soldier who ever fired one.' No more needs to be said! All deactivated weapons sold by D and B Militaria are deactivated in the United Kingdom and hold London or Birmingham proof marks and a certificate stating that the weapon has been deactivated correctly and is legal within the U.K.
