Have you just travelled back in time 60 odd years to pick that up new! Looks really nice.

[panzer79]

it doesnt have the original bolt or barrel. but the cams match and appear unmessed with. I know that the feed tray is either a field update or later, as it is later than the date of the gun manufacture. The only question I had was the finish on the gun- original? anyone have any thoughts? there is absolutely no wear anywhere on this gun.

Gun looks refinished to me..........too "uniform" of a finish.
Post some clear photos of the cam-area (w/markings)....to top-rear of the receiver.......and of the left-rear markings on the receiver.

What is the stamped marking on the top of the receiver near (or just in front of) the cam-piece (?).

Whether it was refinished or not is no big deal... but unfired by its current owner ? Where's the fun in that ?!

[panzer79]

[panzer79]

sorry- no post of the serial number for security reasons- but it is a early CRA gun 1943 "b" block
thanks

[David]

I think its refinished.

[market224]

Nice early MG. I have same early cra 1943 "b" block. Your butt looks same as mine being bakelite. Is it WaA marked? mines not? Not sure if mines post war??

[mp44dude]

Nice gun! I have a CRA 1942 5XXX no letter code that doesn't look as good!

I have a really nice MG42 in the tranfer all matching number including the barrel I just bought from an estate from the guy that kill 3 nazi's and made it in the front page of the newspaper and I have all that to.
