Original Pre-WWII Rare Turkish Contract Vickers Display Machine Gun with Tripod Japanese Army RockenbachOriginal Item: Only One Available. Today examples of the "Turkish Contract" Vickers gun are very hard to find. During WW1 Turkey sided with Germany, but it was a close run thing. Turkey could have been swayed to the Allies cause, however Britain lost the initiative by withholding promised arms and warship consignments directly prior to 1914, as they were understandably diverted for British home use. The Turks were furious and the Germans stepped in.
