This is an extremely rare World War II French MAC Mle 1931 (model of 1931) machine gun drum magazine with loader. It was fitted to the Reibel machine and was side mounted. They were used in a variety of rolls being fitted to French tanks, AFV's and jeeps, anti-aircraft defenses and ground use. During World War II, the Nazis converted captured Reibels for ground use and deployed them for use in the Atlantic wall defenses as well as being used in a twin gun capacity at the Maginot line. It uses the 7.5mm MAS cartridge and has a 150 round capacity. This lot is of two 150 round drums complete with loader. CONDITION: Very good with most finish remaining.
