Brandenburger Fahrradfabrik und Waffenfabrik.
The lower section, complete with spare bolt box, was manufactured in 1943 when these tripods first came into use and is marked with the code for
K.Urbanovsky GmbH, Werk Zastavka bei Bruenn und Segen Gottes (Rosice) bei Bruenn
on the search fire mechanism.
This section has extendable rear legs which swivel through a wide arc to ensure firm footings on uneven terrain. The tripod is painted in ‘Dunkelgelb’ tan with red oxide undercoat and has some green over paint. Pads are original canvas. Slings are post war.
This tripod is coupled with a near MINT deactivated MG34 dated 1943 and having most parts matching numbered.
The top cover has the code for
