Lot 9598 | Schlittenlafette 08 für Maschinengewehr MG 08, 1918
Schlittenlafette 08 für Maschinengewehr MG 08, 1918
Gewehrschlitten 08, späte Fertigung 1918, gestempelte Nummer 722 und undeutliche Bestempelung, vermutlich "GfS / 100" für die Gewehrfabrik Spandau. Insgesamt kompletter und in allen Teilen funktionsfähiger Zustand. Die Polsterung aus Ersatzstoff für Schulter und Armauflagen original, auch noch original vernäht, jeweils mit deutlichen Verschleißspuren und verschmutzt. Beide Schlossbehälter mit korrekten Deckeln und Innenleben (Holzeinlagen und lederne Zugbänder). Keine Durchrostung oder Beschädigungen. Die rechte Blechfüllung mit einigen kleinen, unauffälligen Löchern, wohl Splitterdurchschüsse. Gewehrträger vollständig, einschließlich korrektem Gewehrträger-Oberteil und der fast immer fehlenden Kupplungs- und Klemmvorrichtung. Gleitbahn des Gewehrträgers unbeschädigt. Die Holzeinlagen an den Griffstellen der vorderen Schlittenstützen und der hinteren Schlittenarme original und in perfektem Zustand. Getriebe für Höhenrichtung mit einwandfreier Funktion. Darauf angebracht eine Tiefenfeuerplakette aus Zinkblech. Beide Federn der Schlittenstützarretierung intakt. In dieser späten, ab 1918 gebauten Version in vereinfachter Ausführung wurden der Fett-/Ölbehälter und das Kleinteilefach nicht mehr verbaut. Lafette mit originalem feldgrauen Anstrich, partiell mit nutzungsbedingten Farbverlusten bzw. Abschürfungen. Angebracht Winkelwischstock und Hülsenzange 16. Keine neuzeitlichen Restaurierungen o.Ä. In dieser kompletten, gebrauchsfähigen Erhaltung eine Rarität ersten Ranges in Museumsqualität, ein Highlight jeder deutschen WK1-Sammlung. Maße mit eingeklappten vorderen Stützen ca. 132 x 60 x 45 cm, Gewicht ca. 40 kg.
A sled mount for machine gun MG08, 1918
A sled mount for machine gun MG08, 1918
Gun mount 08, late 1918 production, stamped with the number 722 and a faint marking, most likely reading "GfS / 100" (=Gewehrfabrik Spandau). Complete specimen, fully functional. The original padding for shoulder and arm rests made of "Ersatz" material, the seams with original stitching (!), both fairly worn and soiled. Both lock cases with the correct lid and interior (wooden inserts and leather straps). No perforating corrosion or damages. The right side sheet metal insert with a small number of inconspicuous perforations, most likely caused by shrapnel. Complete original gun carrier, including the clamp device with spring bolts. No damage to the guide rail of the gun carrier. Original wood inserts in the grips of the sled stand and the rear legs original and in excellent condition. The gear unit for height adjustment and clamp lever fully functional. The plaque for searching fire made of zinc sheet (rather than brass as on earlier models). Both springs of the sled stand locking mechanism intact. This late, simplified version as built in 1918 no longer came with either the oil/grease nor the spare part container. A right-angled cleaning rod and sleeve pliers fixed to the mount. The mount with the original field-grey paint finish (!) with some scratches and paint loss due to use. No recent refurbishing or repairs/replacements whatsoever. In such an original complete, functional condition a rarity in museum quality, definitely a highlight for any collection of German Great War weaponry. Dimensions with retracted front stand approx. 132 x 60 x 45 cm, weight approx. 40 kg.
