M24 Base Cap


Achtung Spitfire!

Recommended Posts

This nice complete M24 base cap landed today with the early war manufactured spring and cardboard disc intact which was a mechanism stop the porcelain ball from rattling around. Also with the WaA Eagle approved inspectors stamp.

Also shown is another M24 base cap showing the spring without the cardboard disc.

It looks either ground dug or been lying around for some time with oxidation

Most likely Fritz, as most of these surviving examples are dug.
