Interested Posted 6 February , 2022 Share Posted 6 February , 2022 Looks like the corroded base of a demonstrator we used to have; difficult to date, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner Bailey Posted 6 February , 2022 Share Posted 6 February , 2022 Agree that it's a Gibbons. I have seen many in this condition. All from the Somme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
