Vickers tripod

[J.Smit]

Probably not the right place for it but I will give it a go anyway.

I am looking for an original Vickers (or Ackland) tripod for display purpose. I guess that within the club there are members who collect this kind of stuff, have perhaps a Vickers tripod hidden in the shed or garage gathering dust. Or perhaps you know someone who is willing to part with a Vickers tripod or tripod parts? If so, I very much like to here from you via PM. 

I know that several companies sell these (as complete set with the MG) but most of these dealers are either on the other side of the Ocean and/or think that these tripods are made of gold instead of brass.
