British Vickers & Lewis Leather Oiler Gaskets: Pair

Original Item: The Vickers Medium Machine Gun and the Lewis Light Machine Gun both use the same tubular oil bottle.  In the Vickers, the oil bottle serves as the base of the dual spade grips.  Each of the two grips consists of an oiler with a wood surround.  In the Lewis, the oiler was built into the butt stock.  These oilers have a screw cap and are sealed against leakage with a leather washer.  The washers on many guns have either been lost or have deteriorated to the point that they are not usable.  IMA has a small quantity of these washers in original un-issued condition.
