Cal. N/A. Bbl N/A. Seldom if ever seen French Hotchkiss machine gun omnibus tripod, which retains its orig paint. The omnibus tripod is the preferred tripod for the French Hotchkiss models of machine guns, and a highly sought accessory item for both the WWI historical collector and also the recreational shooting enthusiast. Almost exclusively when found, these tripods have been repainted or otherwise in rather poor condition. This specimen is in fine working order and retains its orig paint. Please note that this lot contains only the tripod. SIZE: CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish fine to very fine, with about 90% orig paint remaining w/mechanics also in fine operating condition. A wonderful find for the collector who has no tripod for their Hotchkiss machine gun, or for the collector who wishes to upgrade to a better example. 53160-10 JWK (2,500-4,000)
