***GERMAN MG-34 MACHINE GUN MADE BY MAGET (PRE-86 DEALER SAMPLE). SN 1818 E. Cal. 8mm Mauser. 24-1/2″ bbl. Manufactured by “cra” (Maget), 1942. Includes two spare bolts (one missing rollers on one side), spare mainspring, web sling, one orig and one post-war non-disintegrating belt, one leather gunner’s tool pouch with anti-aircraft sight, spanner for muzzle, tin oil can and bbl retracting tool. Gun matches in SN on bbl shroud, receiver and buttstock mounting hardware, although buttstock is un-numbered on the hard bakelite, but this is an early buttstock with reinforced metal tips on the heel and toe. Pistol grip is likewise matching in number to the gun, as is the charging handle, although charging handle is marked “S/243″(Mauser). Bipod is of early type with leg adjustment knob dated 1940 and marked “936” with “WaA4”. Bbl shroud marked “BNZ” (Steyr), on perforated portion; top cover marked “708/pem waa66”. Muzzle booster is missing the booster cup inside. Feed tray is un-numbered, but marked “cof” (Grossfus) and includes small tab on right side to keep belt from falling out. This weapon appears fully functional, except for missing booster cup which is a common part to find. Firing mechanism operates correctly when cycled by hand. One of the spare bolts is marked “WaA11”, which would match in manufacture to this gun, although none of the SN on the bolts match the gun. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance in 100% gray phosphate blue refinish over parts which show pits from old corrosion on shroud, receiver, and buttstock hardware. Pistol grip and top cover appear much smoother, as does bipod. Bore is shiny and bright on Nazi proof marked bbl, not matching in SN to gun. Receiver cams and shroud cams are in excellent condition, no evidence that this gun has been fired since its refinish. Overall appearance is quite attractive in its gray finish. Would make a welcome addition to any German machine gun collection. 4-40510 JWK3 (8,000-12,000)
