      Great image of gun cleaning, although the chap in the front does not look too happy.

      Chip excellent input, thank you. Observations made by knowledgable members like you and Prussian help considerably.. Could you post some images of the various types of tunics? Mark

      Grips of death is an excellent thread and covers many areas. This one is re-energised for MG08 specific aspects.

      Super ersatz tripod view. Do you know dates of when these came into service Andy? Mark

      That British compass was so good this pattern remained in service issue up until the 1980s. I don't know what the German WWI equivalent was, or how good/effective, but it is obvious that the British issue version was well thought of and 're-circulated'. Does anybody have the German standard compass example for visual comparison? Mark

      Re-energising the Maxim threads. Still a monster for two!

      MG08/15 alterations/additions: Water release valve, anti aircraft stem on the water jacket, feed block, sights, butt stock oil bottle and sometimes the bipod fitting to the front of the water jacket.

      Larry thanks - great photos. Like the one with the top cover up. Do you ever see any WWI or inter-war MG 'stuff' in Australia? Mark

      I think we would all agree the anti-aircraft configuration looks amazing - but I have seen no records yet of its stability or effectiveness. The gunner would have to rotate around the sled avoiding legs etc whereas in WWI the MG08 attached to a single post seems more useful.
