I have a few

The Buffs pre 1935 large
The Buffs pre 1935 Medium
Gloucestershire Reg Large
Welch Reg post 1920 Large
Seaforth Highlanders Medium

1925 certainly fits with the dates of mine.

I believe we had some .303 Hotchkiss machine guns pretty early in WW1, I think I remember they were intended for Cavalry use but were then issued to Army Cyclists and fitted in some tanks?
