MG1918 Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 Looking to identify and obtain the correct Mg accessories for a German MG08 gun team (and 08/15). Does anybody have an official German List of the items, like an ancilliary kitting/loading list. In the Brititsh WWI handbook the section items for a vickers are luckily shown. VMT Mark

MG1918 Posted January 2, 2011 Author Posted January 2, 2011 MG08 SKELETON VERSION for DP (DRILL PURPOSE). Attached some images of a ''beautiful' instructional MG 08. Hope it is not too boring.............
MG1918 Posted January 2, 2011 Author Posted January 2, 2011 Note first pattern schlitten. I understand there to be 3 patterns manufactured. Mark Happy New Year everybody.
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Mine is first pattern, unfortunately missing the box for the bottom of the barrel. I think it is 1913 dated. Best C hris
MG1918 Posted January 4, 2011 Author Posted January 4, 2011 Terrific sled Chris and great date! I will keep an eye out for spare 'sled' parts as occasionally broken/spare parts do turn up. Your photos are superb. Mark Mine is first pattern, unfortunately missing the box for the bottom of the barrel. I think it is 1913 dated. Best C hris
