but some photos of some other bits from my collection

I know of only 8 surviving examples of the wooden 08/15 in national museums (these are 3) and as one can see spare parts were used by the armourers or unit carpenter. One German war diary spoke of how the standard frontline infantry hated having a MG in their particular positions as it of course...

Wooden examples were used by all sides in WWI. The obvious use was for training and these 3 x 08/15s are able to 'cycle' and practice stoppage drills. However just like in wars since dummy weapons played a part too. The Imperial War Museum UK has an amazing wooden MG08 and I know for a fact...

The details and descriptions are mostly in the WEAPONS and ORDNANCE section here. Thanks. Mark

Some imagery of an 08 with the barrel jacket repair clamp. Drag strap ready in the towing position!

Team Pickelhaubes I try and contribute mostly to ARMS and ORDNANCE here but a few more 'collection' images. A hard to find skeleton/DP 08.

Located and purchased thanks. Now to find some 08 pins.

I have these available but only consider trades I am afraid for items I look for. My email address [email protected]

I am only posting because I am jealous of all the beautiful helmet collections :)

The 3 wooden training examples.

I am little confused - how do we buy? Mark

As a break again from MG08/15 more postcards. Great propoganda imagery.

Nice view of the 08/15 machine gunners spare parts case.

More period postcards showing the German WWI MG.
