Very interesting. What does the inside of the wheel look like?
The worst part is that its almost impossible to prove when its done if you can't find a historical picture to back it up. It would be just to easy to do today...

That would sure beat dragging the sled

Re: MG08 Sled with Sokolov wheels
My Sokolov mount with Optics bracket has those kinds of wheels... Its not a WWI Sokolov mount. Probably late 20s or 1930s. I am guessing that was done post WWI...

Re: MG08 Sled with Sokolov wheels
Thats a very interesting modification! I wonder if the wheels may be Finnish replacements for the Sokolov?
