**NEARLY ALL MATCHING GERMAN WWII MG 34 MACHINE GUN (C&R).

SN 3260a. Cal. 8mm, bbl 28″. This MG 34 machine gun was made by Waffenwerke Brunn (dot) in 1944 as indicated on top of bbl shroud. Eagle over WaA 63 proofmark is also on top of receiver above SN. Bbl shroud, top cover, receiver, buffer, shoulder stock cup and wooden shoulder stock as well as handgrip all match in SN. Charging handle has no number visible when on gun. Bipod has eagle over WaA proofmark but no apparent SN. Feed shuttle mechanism also has very clear eagle over swastika and WaA 63 mark but no apparent SN. Bolt is matching in number and manufacturer (dot) to rest of gun with 3260a SN and eagle over 63 proofmark. Bbl and feed tray are the only parts which numbers do not match this gun. This indicates very strongly that this was a GI bringback gun. Firing mechanism functions smoothly when operated by hand. This weapon appears fully functional. PROVENANCE: The class III weapons formerly on loan to Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is fine with about 90% original blued finish remaining with the loss being mostly on the charging handle, feed tray and thinning in places with some bare areas along the high points. Bipod presents more of a brown patina finish with some old scale in places. Hand grips appear intact and serviceable with some scuffs and handling marks. Stock has some chips and scratches but is still very serviceable. Bore has strong rifling. Bolt face is clean with crisp edges with a slight ring around the firing pin hole. It is fairly routine to find bringback guns with non-matching parts and very unusual to find one of these guns so close to all matching as this one. 4-51689 (20,000-30,000) – Lot 2023
