    Hi everybody
    I am residing in Sweden. I have in my possesion 2 machine guns.
    My father ones told me they are from a British Aircraft, crashed in Norway.
    They have following data: 303 MK II B Y 93720 B and written with yellow paint LJ 899 D4

    Is it possible to identify them?

    Best regards
    Per

    they could be lewis machine guns do to the fact that most british planes an vehicles were armed with them they are usually identified by a large capacity drum on the top
