**BIRMINGHAM SMALL ARMS LEWIS MODEL 1914 GROUND GUN (REGISTERED DEWAT) (C&R).

SN A560. Cal. 303 British. 26″ bbl. This 1914 Lewis gun is typical of most seen on the market in that it is a re-number to an “A” prefix SN. The number on the top of the shroud does not match the receiver number nor the “A” number. Typical broad arrow proof marks on both receiver and lower assembly. Stock has a 3″ long x 1″ deep repair at the top near the butt. Non-standard screw retains the stock against the receiver. This example includes one standard British marked pan magazine and one orig bi-pod assembly marked “MOUNT FIELD 30 NOTTINGHAM”. Also included, is one serviceable orig bbl with British proof marks. Bbl in this gun has been heavily welded to receiver and chamber filled with weld rendering it unserviceable, however, bolt and boltface appear serviceable. Front sling swivel has been bent out of shape and some point, but this could be remedied. Firing mechanism functions smoothly when operated by hand, but this weapon is unserviceable. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is very good with about 75% of orig finish remaining, mostly thinning on the shroud and turning to a somewhat grey patina on the lower assembly. Bi-pod retains about 60% of its orig green paint over a grey patina. Stock has repair at top rear as noted, as well as a plug in the bottom just to the rear of the sling swivel. It also has numerous nicks and handling marks. Bore of bbl within gun unable to be checked due to welded chamber. Bore of spare bbl shiny and bright and clean. Although currently unserviceable, this weapon is registered under the National Firearms Act and will transfer on an approved Form 3 or Form 5. This would make a fine display piece for the WWI enthusiast or with appropriate effort could likely be restored to a firing condition. 4-55378 (7,500-10,500) – Lot 2017
