Mark Finneran Posted 17 October , 2021 Author Share Posted 17 October , 2021 Thanks again for the images sent of captured RUS MGs in Imperial German hands. The whole subject of beute MGs is a topic all by itself. Many of you will have images of French and British MGs that have been ‘re-purposed. I need to look through the threads again to find some images I added years ago. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Finneran Posted 27 October , 2021 Author Share Posted 27 October , 2021 (edited) Anvil, the postcards are not just mine. Many BEL and FRA collectors send me copies of their MG images! The actual hardware is mine though. Edited 27 October , 2021 by Mark Finneran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Finneran Posted 27 October , 2021 Author Share Posted 27 October , 2021 Although there was a sled for the MG01, this is the first pattern sled for the 08. There are a few variations but the most obvious is the full front chest grill. As shown here. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Finneran Posted 6 November , 2021 Author Share Posted 6 November , 2021 (edited) Mickster thanks for asking but please help yourself. Over a 100 years old and mostly postcards so no copyright 🤪🤪🤪🤪 Glad they are useful. Mark Edited 8 November , 2021 by Mark Finneran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Finneran Posted 8 January , 2022 Author Share Posted 8 January , 2022 What is good about this picture is that it confirms some sleds saw service after ‘modification’. Often the thin steel side panels in the sled wings were damaged and so removed. Some other imagery shows handles fitted to the top of the wing but there is no evidence this was a factory modification, and again unit and/or armoured modification.

Mark Finneran Posted 7 February , 2022 Author Share Posted 7 February , 2022 Noting the image above, I am still trying to find detail on the 'added' handles to the top of the sled wings. Factory or Unit armourer??? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner 87 Posted 13 October , 2022 Share Posted 13 October , 2022 Hi Mark. Strangely stumbled across this photograph of two MG08 teams and, seeing your thread, thought it maybe of interest should you have not seen it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Finneran Posted 10 April , 2023 Author Share Posted 10 April , 2023 Superb photo in so many ways. 4 barrel carry case, clear markings on how to place ammo belt into the 500 rd cans, and barrel jacket repair clamp.
