Any members with some MG08/15 imagery? I am particularly looking for images of AA mounts please?

Some views of a hard to find trench mount

Surprising that no 08 activity on the Forum since June! I am now back so hope to generate some interest again. and Happy Christmas by the way!!
Mark

Can you list the items? I suspect they are most sought after and costly!!!

Woznotwas I am also keen to know who has taken up the challenge of following the latest regs!

Not sure I would agree with you Gustav. Yes our UK deactivation rules have yet again changed but if I had the choice between US dummy gun v UK dear it would be UK deac. every time. A dummy side plate is not the same as all original. However the real issue is that Display items in any state/configura...

No Gustav no this is not true! Is it?

Pro-German Holland during WWI. Can anyone pinpoint for me please any accurate references to the Dutch cement making machine for Germany. I am just looking into some details on the manufacture of defence systems, in particular pill box MG emplacements?

Thanks Simon, sadly not the right MG08 drain valve. Here are the images of the items wanted?

Spiker trying to contact you again ref MG and thread. Please respond?
Mark

Always looking for the unusual mounts :>) but as you can imagine the variants of trench mounts are enormous. Unit armourers, field and echelon workshops and then add all the anti aircraft variations - lots to find!!!

SPIKER Could we have your photos back?

Carrying the sled must have been a challenge :>)

many examples were produced even close to the front line. If any members are aware of different patterns please let me know?

Looking for one of these bipods to purchase. They were used for the anti tank rifles too.

L&H (31).jpg I am not aware of any formal issued cart for the lewis, Vickers or Hotchkiss in WWI. Pack saddlery for mules/horses etc but no carts. Whereas the Imperial Germans did produce a patterned cart. Maybe it was a 'captured' example being used as 'best practice'!! Another image for the lewis...

Looking for all 3 patterns and best prices paid. Please email with images as there are reproductions on the market. Thanks.

Clearly my image hosting does not work, so some images of 0815 bipods that I seek. Firstly the most common as seen in period images:

Certain threads have gone very quiet so hopefully this will spark some interest and re-energise. I am still looking for like-minded enthusiasts and parts for the collection!

Wanted to buy and best price paid any MG bipod. Top price paid.

Beautiful

Thanks Peter for the email. That was a .5 browning round. I am looking for the Mauser T Gewehr rounds.
Mark

Thanks Amy. I have known Rod for well over 20 years now

So am I :>)
