Re: My new MG08
Very, very nice Peter, congratulations!
Is that the one that "Plunderer Pete" had on his table?
Best Regards,
Alan

Re: My new MG08
The gun is deactivated so no plans to shoot it. I will take some more photos this weekend. It has been a whirlwind since SOS. The week went by far too fast as I'm sure James, Gus, Brian, Amy and others can attest. I arrived home on Saturday, moved the MG08 to my collectible room and barely have had a minute to enjoy it.
I've been back in the salt mines working nonstop (gotta pay for this stuff some how). But come Saturday I plan to really rest and spend time with my new purchase.

No shooting, I’m crushed. And only slightly less jealous.

Re: My new MG08
I didn't think it was right to have an MG08 and NOT have an MG08/15 to go with it. This just arrived on Friday (thank you to Gus for the help in finding it).
My collectible room is filled so I figured it would be good to just display it in the garden for now.

Great item but it has an MG08 booster assembly?

Re: My new MG08
I wish the display "bunker" kept growing. It is getting more crowded! When I'm asked what I need for the collection in 2020... my answer "more space!"
Re: My new MG08
There are a lot of reproductions of the 08/15 booster, the reproductions have an angular edge on the front of the shroud, while the originals are rounded, although I did see a photo of a recent reproduction that was exact.Peter_Suciu wrote: ↑Mon May 25, 2020 11:13 amThat is what it has. I'll seek out a more correct replacement, but I'm sure this would be an impossibility.
