Awesome picture Joe... I would love to know where it is too. Maybe the stock pile IMA bought back in the day...?

Man alive, can you imagine the value of parts there on the American market these days

I think that would be the meaning of market saturation...

I am looking please for some good images of the MG08 in a fixed trench posn, but these may be of interest:

found this Reichswehr (1926) dated pic,
camo-Paint locks like new ..(painted 11am photographed 11:30am) LOL
the Leather Barrel-Cover
and a unusual attachment at the front of the Watertank.

Great pictures Fritz and still no one has been able to identify the front face part of the water jacket. Camouflage images are of interest as I am still unclear 'when' the Imperial troops started painting their MGs. Incidentally these were sent to me and may have come from a book. No dates.

Gosh some people will go to extraordinary lengths to get out of the front line. Hitting own head with grenade must be one of the best methods.

will post a few of the British MG images for interest in the British section.
