MG1918

I have lost a lot of my 'inter-war' MG imagery due to photobucket re-shaping. I will ask the moderator if I can clean up this thread but just to re-energise here are some fresh images. There were several modifications to both the MG08 and 08/15 and they can be of interest to any MG enthusiast. There are stand alone MG08 and 08/15 threads but to begin, here is an image of the standard WWI 08/15 configuration.

Nice 'spiked' helmet gun team. Sorry for absence but now time to re-inject some life into this thread to compliment 'Grips of Death'.

Happy New Year.

Please forgive my absence due to work. Time to re-energise all MG threads. Please review as some retrospective wotrk has been done and again please let me know if you have spares. I hope the 08 and 08/15 threads are useful.

One of the best images.... of a Kaiser moustache 

Great view of the 08/15 accessories.

Super image

Nick huge thanks for fixing 'photobucket' issue.

Mark

Chip understood.  Now I need the Moderator to tell me how they wish me to clean up all those redundant posts!

Mark

As with MG08, as soon as the Photobucket entries are removed this will again try and add value to the MG08/15 enthusiast.

Mark

Moderator is looking at how to remove all these Photobucket 'entries'.  Once cleaned I will get back to re-energising MG08 & MG08/15 complimenting 'grips of death'.

Nice view of the sled mount range plate

Nice collection MOTOJOSH. Just name your price :>)

Firstly it is not an officers cap but a normal soldiers field cap.  The lining inside the grey material is not original but sometimes soldiers in all nations would alter their kit.  The oil black lining looks too stiff often seen in post 1920 Service caps despite the dates.

Mark

Although no longer owning any WWI British MGs (only collecting WWI German now) I thought some imagery might be of interest to the club.Still have the extensive library of manuals if of use though.

Could the moderator please when you have time, remove my posts that have no images. The Image host site has gone so it will help the housekeeping of the thread   Thanks.

Can anyone post images of their water cans?

Chip this particular postcard is not mine as people send me all sorts of MG images. I tried cropping and enhancing and it does not get much better!  Did they have 'farrier' specialist badges or range finder qualification badges like the British?

Mark

Andy other experts speak a qualification badge for minenwerfer. I personally do not know but on another web site this was the agreed understanding.
