bcv[22] - WW2 / Home Guard [1 of 2]
Display - with talks - of Home Guard weapons [all de-activated or replica]. Note the bell tents and army blankets.

The nearest three weapons are all "Sten" guns, then a selection of Webley revolvers [plus an interloping Smith & Wesson .38], Thompson sub-machine guns and finally some rifles.
Standing behind are their storage boxes. Note the case with a wide "red stripe" if I recall correctly that denotes the weapon is a non-standard calibre for Britain, requiring specific ammunition.

Gillian Everett, Robert Swanson, Wierd Folkersma, Annemarie and 3 other people have particularly liked this photo

I'd love one of the old boxes- and leave the weapons to other people;-)

Things that definitely need storage boxes. Great shot!

if they are deactivated or replica the boxes for cartridges must be empty?
