Greetings all,

I have been looking for a nice No. 22 for a long time, mostly only finding dug examples etc etc, never with the striker cap or only with the remenants of the cap. The previous photo is of the Mk. 1 version, and yesterday I finally found a decent example of the Mk. 2 version, with the cap. Note, original paint, and the cap. Thought you might like to see it.

Cheers

Another very nice find. You must be pleased with it as you said they are hard to find in this condition. I have a mint one, body only,(no cap or fuse) nicely stamped Elmbank 1916, but it's not handy to take a picture of. I will have to see if I can find it. Tony.
