Scanned Ilustrated Parts Lists

[tom]

am currently working on a data base of Commonwealth small arms illustrated parts lists and Handbooks and am hoping that some one has the the the following to scan or lend me to scan. (P) is Parts Lst (H) is Handbook, ideally the fawn coloured cover post war ones.

M2 0.5" Browning (P) (H)
Hotchkiss Portative Mk I (P)
Originals for No. 1 Mk III*, No. 4, No. 4T, No. 5 Rifles (P) (H)
Sten Mk 5 (P) (H)
M20 3.5" RL (H)

To be honest I would be grateful to hear about any unusual lists people have and would be willing to copy which I don't know about. Are their UK lists for the M1 M2 Carbines? by rights there should be.

Perhaps its easier to say which Parts Lists we have already scanned in, please excuse the muddled nature of the list, I'll do a more elaborate/complete version later.

Tom,

I have just bought a batch of Australian Parts Lists and I only want to keep the Vickers MMG one. Any others I will be selling but I will scan them all first. I will let you know what ones they are when they arrive - I know there is an Austen one and a Grenade discharger cup one.

I also have a couple of lists on my 'manuals' page of my Vickers website - see the updates board above - which I will stick on a DVD and send up to you when all the manuals are scanned in. Also included on the DVD will be the SA Identification manual for the US .30 M1915 Vickers that was issued to Home Guard units under Lend-Lease.

Excellent stuff!

Theres some very interesting stuff there. The last PIAT parts list I saw on eBay went for a fantastic amount, so you should do well selling them on.

I managed to get the seller to photocopy it for me (at a price of course) but a first generation scan would be a vast improvement

I've still got a original of the L4A4 and L4A6 IPL to scan in, a couple more related to the Airborne Polsten and one for the M1917.

PS Rich
do you still have the raw / unzipped copy of that rather fine 1947 Vickers IPL? Its just I'd like to do a version like the Bren lists I sent, perhaps one like the 1956 Aussie one set up for printing off?

I've not done much on that "other project" yet, a lot is tied up in a drive that needs reclaiming...

[Richard Fisher]

Do you mean the 1949 one Tom? I will include the full .jpgs on the DVD when I get around to finishing all the other stuff.

Other project is for you to do at your leisure.

Cheers,

Rich

Ops '49 it is, i'm losing the plot again. Thanks!

Herself has just set up the scanning department again so I will now start playing catch up!
