**RUSSIAN TRACTOR CAP MAXIM MODEL 1910 (C&R).

SN MK-12. 7.62 x 54 R. 28″ bbl. This fluted jacket Maxim was manufactured in 1944 and has enlarged cap on jacket so that it can be cooled by stuffing snow into jacket. It’s Sokolov mount was made in 1943 and has been repainted a dark green color. Complete with its armored shield this Maxim has a two Cyrillic letter prefix and although the welding is crude in some places all visible numbers with exception of feed shuttle and bolt appear to be matching to include muzzle booster, top cover, backplate, charging handle and fusee cover. From experience this cataloger can say that despite the occasional crude weld on these Russian Maxim guns they generally function very well and reliably. Mechanism functions smoothly when operated by hand. This gun appears fully functional. PROVENANCE: Ex-Dolf Goldsmith collection; The class III weapons formerly on loan to Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is extremely fine to excellent. Over 95% blued finish on metal parts to rear of water jacket and on muzzle. Backplate handles are in excellent, clean condition. Water jacket retains nearly all of its dark green repainted finish. Mount is also refinished, about 90% paint remaining with red oxide primer showing through in spots particularly on metal rims of wheels. Bore is excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt face is excellent. Brushes are in good serviceable condition inside handles. Bottom of trunnion is engraved “JPL T AZ85653”, which indicates that at one time this arm was in the possession of a noted firearms enthusiast in Arizona. Tripod mechanisms are stiff but operational. These Russian Maxims are always popular guns, not only for their sturdy design but also for the availability of ammunition and spare parts. This example on its orig mount with shield is an extremely fine opportunity for the Maxim collector. 4-51707 JWK34 (20,000-35,000) – Lot 1012
