MG15 with wood? Any pics?

Hello,

I am looking for any pictures/information regarding an original MG15 that has the wooden action cover? Are these wooden covers off the early guns, or post war made? I cannot seem to be able to find much info out there...

Thanks

Re: Lafette 42 - opinions??

It's not cheap, but these original ones ( the ones that aren't yugo/post war altered) and in original paint are only going to increase in value, and over here in the UK - WW2 lafettes (of any kind) are hard to find, and there are ...

Re: Lafette 42 - opinions??

Sorry about the pictures, they didn't seem to upload when I tried to post them here. May I ask how you know this is a converted 34 lafette? Also was this conversion wartime or post-war? What do you think to the pads and paint?
Thanks

Re: Lafette 42 - opinions??

Hi Tom,

Glad to hear it's a correct 42 lafette. May I ask what you think to the paint, looks original to me?

I don't really know about the data plate myself. What is it you would like pictures of?

Thank you,

Patrick
