Original British WWI Lewis Gun Spanner Tool - Notched Spanish Helmets converted to centerfire cartridge andOriginal Item: IMA has found a few very scarce tools for the Lewis Mk I Light Machine Gun as used in the First and Second World Wars. "Spanner," in American English, means "wrench," of course. This tool was designed to perform either two or three functions, depending on which model spanner. The first model was intended for removing the barrel mouthpiece, which is a funnel like piece that was critical to pulling cool air over the radiator cooling fins.
