tranham Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Possible pre-WWI German DWM maxim. This is the earliest German mg08 maxim I've ever seen. Dated 1914 in 1200 serial number range. Complete gun but mismatched. Reciever, top cover, water jacket, spade grips, trigger bar, rails and some small parts match. Complete gun with scope, belt, some spares and post war tripod adapter. Gun is not C&R, made by Catco. Located at my TN dealer currently.

BRMCII Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Nice to see MG08s from earlier production. Most are '16,'17 and '18. I had the good fortune to acquire DWM manufactured MG08 #39, dated 1908. It has some differences from later production. Have seen a 1910 date, several 1912s and some '13s, '14s and 15s over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranham Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Thanks for the info Bob. Another interesting piece of history is the top cover markings "3.G. M.G.K." "1. Kong." "2. Gew". I'm not 100% sure but I think 2nd Gun for 3rd Genadier Gaurds Machinengewehr Kompanie, 1st Konigsburg Army Korp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRMCII Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 The #39 gun is Brandenberg marked, with three different sets of Roman numbers indicating which number gun it is. The last number it had was III, with the previous two sets lined out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike todd Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 hmmmmm, 111 YEARS OLD? it should have no problem with the C+R issue right? I thought something was different about catco, now I just see they were all senile. I don't believe there are any catco guns in the british small arms collection in London . maybe they want it.( SIGH !) mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tranham Posted February 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Thanks for all the interest. I've got the gun being transferred to myself from my dealer. I started it in November. I am willing to sell but would prefer it gets through this transfer before I make a deal. I'll keep the 2 people currently interested in touch when it's available again robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
