Hoss Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 They are Bergmann LMG15aA men are a section called Leicht MG Trupps because the gun was only capable of 250 continuous fire they always worked in a least threes while each gun cooled.

Joe Sweeney Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 It actually sold for $32,200--a real bargain (not).I'll never be able to collect WWI autos (And I live in a friendly state) at those prices.Although a Chauchat went for under $5k.Joe Sweeney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dksck Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I had the good fortune of being at Cowan's auction. It was a wonderful auction. Unfortunately, this particular item did not go home with me. There were several folks, mostly on the phones, whose pockets were a little deeper than mine. There was at least one buyer who spent more than 500k on class III items. As I said, it was out of my league but was great to be able to see and touch this one and the others offered that day.
