Original Item: The crank handle is one of the most recognizable components on the Vickers gun with its elaborately curved shape. The crank handle is attached directly to the internal crank. Among its functions, it provides the means for the operator to charge the gun preparatory to firing and to clear different types of stoppages.
The exact type of stoppage can often be discerned by the position of the crank handle when the gun stops firing. The condition is good to very good.
