Hello all,
I'm still trying to find an original ww2 german charging handle for my MG42, and I'm yet to have any luck. Does anyone know where I could get one from?
Many thanks,
Patrick

Thank you! Can I ask, just to be certain, is this one a genuine original WW2 German charging handle? Its just I've never seen the 18 in a box stamp?? Thanks , Patrick

There seems to be a waffle amp right above the number. I an no expert but it looks good to me.

I have seen this 18 before on good ww2 cocking handles. I have also seen yugo numbers in squares but the number is turned and added in a square were the german ones are made with the black turned 45degrees if that makes any sense. I have also seen the number 2 applied just like this 18. I have dealt with the seller and have never had a problem with him.
