1943 Air Ministry Chobert Rivet Gun & Box

A 1943 dated Air Ministry Chobert rivet gun still housed in its original wooden box along with spares, attachments and tin of lubricant. This type A rivet gun is nicely marked with an AM logo and suppliers details etc, the gun retains a good strong snapping action so I assume in full working order, much of its original paint finish remains but there are some areas of light surface rusting and paint loss.. The wooden/ply box remains solid with a working catch , internally a bit grubby from oil & handling, green felt now showing some signs of wear & tear from usage, the lids original plastic makers plate is now unattached and placed inside. Uncertain if originally used in the aircraft factories or as an airfield piece of equipment for undertaking repairs. Box lid measures 15 inches x 7 1/4 When these rivet guns do come up for sale they are usually priced at £125 - £150.
