You are covering a lot of ground with these AC. Arguably the most deadly weapon in any battle, it is great to see the manufacturers have addressed it so comprehensively. Robin.

One was made by Asset as John mentions and the one here was made by Yeomanry Miniatures ( by Bryan ).....Not sure if he is still trading, as I do not see his stand at the fair pictures shared at the forum!

Hi Robin,
Thanks!
Along with artillery, the early stages of the machinegun and its deployment and the changes it brought to the battlefield are topics that I very much enjoy reading about...
Have to be fair to say that getting these many machineguns of different periods at a late stage of the collecting as I started was very complex....To imagine that by the time I was bit by the collecting bug, names as Mountford, Stadden and others were all but gone....So with a lot of luck, thanks to the internet and online shopping ( landlocked in a country were toy soldier collecting is not anyware to be seen - is a miracle...{sm4}{sm4}), and the great help of Obee in materializing my crazy ideas....I was able to get this small sample together.......
Cheers

I think Bryan is not trading. His facebook page indicates he is the former Yeomanry proprietor.
