Lot 4107 | Versilbertes Trench Art-Modell eines Vickers-Maschinengewehrs mit Dreibein und Munitionskisten, um 1917/18
Messing, versilbert (partiell berieben). Detailliertes Modell des Maschinengewehrs mit aufklappbarer Visierung, hölzernen Griffen an der Handhabe sowie fixierbarer Höhenjustierung mit gefederter Feinjustierung. Drehbar montiert auf versilbertem Dreibein mit einzeln verstellbaren Beinen. Die Krallen des Dreibeins stehen in Vertiefungen des geschwärzten Eichensockels, hinter dem MG zwei montierte Munitionskisten, ebenfalls aus versilbertem Messing, mit aufklappbaren Deckeln. Vor dem MG eine versilberte Standplakette mit versplintetem, teilemailliertem Silberabzeichen des "MGC" (Machine Gun Corps) mit gekreuzten MGs unter der englischen Krone, darunter eingeschlagene Bezeichnung "W.J.B. France 1914 - 1917". Länge der Vickers 34 cm, Sockelmaße 32,3 x 20 cm. Das Vickers MG war das Standard-MG der britischen Armee und wurde ab etwa 1916 auch als Bord-MG auf englischen wie französischen Jagdflugzeugen verwendet. Auch die US-Army verwendete dieses Modell als Colt Vickers M 1915. Hochwertige und überaus dekorative Trench Art-Arbeit, die Initialen W.J.B. lassen auf den Erbauer als Mitglied des Machine Gun Corps schließen. Zustand: II +
