MG34 Lafette trigger piece's????

[cbass]

Hello Lads,

I acquired these parts off from Gunbroker, now one piece I know is part of trigger group for the lafette, but the other three pieces I have no clue where they go or if they even go to a lafette. I've been looking all over the internet for pictures or any reference material and have found almost nothing.

I just the got the Folke Myvrang Book today but, haven't found anything in there either so im assuming they don't belong? If anyone has any info on these mystery pieces and how the lafette trigger group is assembled and all the pieces look, I would sincerely appreciate it.

Regards,

cbass

The middle piece is one of two spring loaded linkages that connects the cradle to the Elev & Trav mechanism when it is folded/unfolded. The spring loaded part allows for some slack to get the cradle up and over the E&T mech, so to speak.

Concerning the other two components, I'm don't really know. My only thought for the right hand, cammed component was that it was an early, hand adjustable optic block traverse tuner. However, taking into accout that the spring linkage is about 6cm long then this component is way too big. I don't think this is a component from a Lafette.
The left hand piece could possibly be from the Lafette 34 cradle trigger mech or early take-down mech but I'm unfamilier with these L34 mechanism.

After checking my Lafette 42 Yugo manual, and from memory of my Lafette 42 restoration, neither of these pieces were present.

Incidentally, where does the identified piece, on the left, go?

Tom.

Far right hand piece is from an anti air craft tripod. It's one of three in the head area and allows the leg to move or stay closed.
Far left piece is a MG34 lafette trigger and the two middle are part of the open close area in the back of the mg34 or mg42 lafette.
