This is an unusually extensive package containing the tripod, substantial quantities of belted ammunition, spare .303 British components, an 8mm conversion kit, additional belts, ammunition boxes, sighting equipment and water-cooling accessories. Developed from Hiram Maxim’s pioneering design, the water-cooled Vickers became one of the most respected crew-served machine guns of the 20th century.

Australian Vickers guns followed the proven British Mk I pattern and served as important infantry support weapons throughout the World War II era and beyond.
