Dummy Rifles for Drill from 12/6 to 48/- per Dozen

[seebee1]

In the recent issue of the Armourer, March/April 2011, always a great read, I was interested to see an article on "Selling to the VTC" (Volunteer Training Corps) by Ray Westlake. I have owned a Training Rife for some years and pleased to see something written about it and the advertisement for its sale. I am sure it does not have much value, however an interesting part of WW1 and probably WW2 history. If Forum Members have other examples I would be keen to see them. Regards, Clive.

Many thanks for the link Gary, that it a great example that you own I guess there are not too many collectors of these training aids, nor for that matter do you see too many examples about either. Still, a great part of our Military history IMO. Regards, Clive.
