All complete (except for spare bolt box) lafette. It is a 1938 model, which means that it originally left the factory in a three-tone camouflage. This one got repainted by the Germans in ww2 and has a secondary coating of Panzergrey. After the war it got a repaint by the Norwegian army in OD, and then some silly bugger has painted a floral camouflage scheme on top of that! The postwar paint strips quite easily down to the original panzergray if someone is up for the task! All the paint has the benefit of a well preserved tripod underneath though! All functions work, all markings are intact. These are hard to get! Asking $ 1700,- + postage (or bids over )

I'll take it.

Thanks to all interested parties, but biochembri was the "winner", and the tripod has now been sold.
