Rick,

Thanks for the photo of the spring and scear arm. Not actually seen the 'guts' before.

Museum of Artillery, Woolwich:

It appears the museum is still there, but sadly, will be closing in 2017 through lack of visitors/funding. Many of the arms have already been moved to another museum. I would hope they will be put on display as If left in storage, all kinds of evil can befall them.

Kind regards,
Richard.

Hi Richard.
Yes, it might be the only original "spare" around. Neven seen another for sale. I pick up those parts as I find them in case I or another collector has a need at some time.

It's always sad to hear of an arms museum closing due to a lack of outside interest.

Rick.
