Apologies for the pictures from my phone but hopefully they show enough for you guys to get the gist of it.

Recovered from Henderson field? A Dewat I assume? Very cool, would love to see more pics.
Yes it is deactivated by many years dumped on the foreshore after being cleared from the airfield - what we were told by the locals. The barrel is packed solid with coral and other than the feed tray top opening the mechanism is solid, cocking handle missing, trigger mechanism missing. Not much more to see really.
A nice piece of history.
That is awesome!!!
Thank you for sharing those pic's BC. I know how much they weigh, so very much appreciated that you hauled her out for pic's.
I'm with Gunny on that. It is a true piece of history.

Stunning. I love it.

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Indeed Phil, it is a large lump. Had it a long time now and still not got a wall strong enough to hang it onto!!
Nice find BC
Perhaps an improvised floor stand that could be kept next to a wall ?
The history is all there !
