4thGordons Posted 6 November , 2016 Share Posted 6 November , 2016 (edited) From another recently acquired set of photographs - this one contains a number of German used mortars, machine guns, grenade launchers and artillery pieces. Some appear to be captured weapons. While I can generally identify what I am seeing specifics of model types etc are not known to me, any insights would be appreciated. The photos date from mid 1916 and were probably taken on the Eastern Front. Edited 6 November , 2016 by 4thGordons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4thGordons Posted 6 November , 2016 Author Share Posted 6 November , 2016 Rifle Grenade launcher with Gew 98...looks to be fairly intricate and with a sighting system. I have not seen a picture of this type before (but I have not looked too hard!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
