Does anyone have for sale one of the bipods as shown above?  The tubular steel pattern?  There are several patterns used for the MG08/15 and other light MGs.

Thanks

ZMS thanks for posting. Interesting. I seek the original items but the company certainly has done a great job. Hopefully the beginning of some ‘new’ WWI films/movies 🙂

A couple of hundred years from now and with some ‘usage’ they will look practically original!  Is there any film of them being ‘live fired’ or trialled?

Nice side view of the 'ersatz' 08/15 bipod. Incidentally I am looking for one!  There were 3 main bipods used in WWI for the 08/15, in that these were the mass produced 'issued' bipods. Some period imagery will show unit/armourer variations or front line essential repair.

Incidentally there seems to be no set method of how all 3 bipods were positioned. Period imagery shows all 3 in forward and reverse facing positions.  As well documented having the bipod in the middle of the wepaon made it very unstable, hence the inter-war adaptor. Image shown just for interest.

ZMS děkuji za zveřejnění. Zajímavý. Sháním originální zboží, ale firma určitě odvedla skvělou práci. Snad začátek nějakých 'nových' filmů/filmů z první světové války 🙂

Za pár set let a při určitém „používání“ budou vypadat prakticky originálně! Existuje nějaký film, na kterém jsou stříleni v přímém přenosu nebo zkoušeni?

I'm sorry I don't speak English. I own the original MG 08/15 fully functional which I used as a template for my production.
