The pics in Gordon Mays book/bible on all Enfield models shows unknown (to me) looking gearboxes
(plural, there seem to be several types) from the early 30s to somewhere in 1936, so that probably explains that.
I wonder what owners do for spares ?

Thanks R, saves me finding my copy of Gordon May's book "By Miles The Best" which, for anyone who doesn't know it, is a year by year compendium of Factory pictures and brochure shots from 1930 to 1970 including a short technical description of each model. Invaluable for the Enfield enthusiast even if there are a few minor errors and omissions! As to spares for these boxes I remember appeals in the Club magazine for parts, especially the cases but have no idea whether these were ever fulfilled....
REgards, Mark

Seems to have lost its aluminium painted tank - or were there other alternative models ?

Small update
We have located some parts
The Chap who we bought it from went to an Autojumble and found a few so passed the vendors details on, as per usual its miles away so we are currently hoping he will agree to post.
