The lid opens and hinges to the rear, it's the first pattern; they were later changed to hinge from the side, where the lid lifts off to the side, not the rear. These first pattern boxes also do not generally have a handle on the lid, from my experience, only the side handles are present. I've got t...

It looks like the guys in the truck with the Vickers guns went down with a heck of a fight. The expended belts everywhere sure look like they were shooting a lot.

Fantastic images in this thread!!!! I noticed the guys in the last picture have the very early first pattern ammo can, that opens on the side- pretty cool!

The sled looks really good after you got the gold paint off! Why gold paint by the way? Was this a gate guardian at a night club or something?

Wow, that's a nice 09 MG08 and sled mount! Too bad it's a kit, but glad to see you got one that nice! I'd love to have an early war gun and mount, but haven't seen any for sale in some time that i had the $$ to get due to family concerns, etc. Nice gun! I'd love to see pictures of it when you're don...

1600 rd case?

So where are you located? Might be able to get this, how many cases do you have?

So do you still have this?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

The slider looks like it belongs on a standard Gewehr 98 with the roller coaster sight, I think that's what it is- neat score! You did great!

Congratulations!!!!!

Very cool pic, what are the insignia on his collar? Nice group! Nice MG08 too!

Very cool find Alpenkorps! I would love a copy of that if you get a chance!!!

Very cool video Matt! :photos: I still want one, I am fascinated by the WWII use of the MG08/15, and would love to field it with that, hopefully someone will walk out of the woods with one sometime for me! :cross: Pretty cool, I do think it looks like the front is bouncing less on the last setting? ...

SOLD

Im going to sell my MG34 layette 34, Im in the hospital right now, but I'll try to add pics later! It's a Norwegian one, it's painted their OD green color, but that's about all that's been changed on it. The Lafitte was made in 1939 by Brandenburger Fahrrad, "excelsior" and is marked with a triangle...

That's awsome Mark, but I want one! LOL! If you hear of another one, let me know! I have been looking for one for a while, but I'm also looking for the dragging straps, if you see those!

Just for fun, a neat movie from 1901! Shows our forbearers liked it even before Monroe…

Are these E kits complete? Are you planning to sell any?

I'd say change the lock too and try that out, how did it work in the 98K?
