SN 403521. 30-06 Cal. 24″ bbl. This vintage Browning 1919 A4 machine gun comes on a WWII vintage tripod complete with traverse and elevation mechanism and is marked on right sideplate with SN, US inspection mark with crossed cannons and “BROWNING MACHINE GUN” / “U.S.CAL 30 M1919A4 6” / “MAN’FD BY SAGINAW STEERING GEAR DIV.” / ” GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION” / “RIA” The 4 in 1919A4 has been partially obliterated and 6 with initials “FK” are stamped to right. ATF paperwork indicates this is a C&R gun and model is 1919A6, however no shoulder attachment is present. 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. Sights are graduated in yards and marked for Cal 30 M 1. Trunnion is steel, bolt is not marked. One piece forged metal handgrip has provision for spring clip but this is not present. Tripod manufactured by Lamson Co. in 1942 and is SN 4911. Mechanical aspects of tripod and traverse and elevation mechanism are functional. Gun firing 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 fine. Over 90% green parkerized finish thinning in places particular on right sideplate above and below cocking handle. Evidence at cocking slot where bolt and handle may have at one time been welded to right sideplate. Indications are that at one time this weapon may have been a DEWAT, especially with the “JPL” initials on bottom of trunnion. Bore is shiny and bright with strong rifling. Bolt face is extremely fine. Tripod retains over 90% of its orig dark finish with brass traverse ring and is very handsomely finished. This mainstay of the American forces and machine gun shooting enthusiasts is a sure winner both as a collectable and on the range. 4-51728 JWK44 (12,000-16,000) – Lot 1051
