Early German MG ammunition drum and carrier cradle
Description
An early set of German MG34/42 ammunition drums in factory camouflage with carrier cradle. These would have been mounted on vehicles or motorcycles for transport. For example in the interior of a Schwimmwagen or the exterior of a « BMW R75 ». The carrier is factory made from a heavier steel body. It is factory painted in a classic early blue-grey matte finish with a secondary application of a light brown spray finish. This gives it a slight camouflage finish as intended. The cradle is clearly marked along a Waffenamt and code dated « 959 / 41 ». In overall excellent condition with only some light storage markings over the decades. Fully functional and with a top in place. This includes the two horsehair padding knobs on the top which are commonly missing. Both the drums are matching in color and retain their camouflage finish that rates in at 96%. The drums are both marked on the interior with the semi-circular arrow to designate direction of the ammunition. Both are dated « 1940 » and Waffenamt but different serial numbers. One of the nicest sets we have had the pleasure of offering over the years. A very nice and highly desirable item.
