Designed as a replacement for the Swarzlose 1907 and M.07/12 machine guns in the Czechoslovakian military, the TK Vz. 37 was utilized by infantry troops as well as the Panzer 35(t) and Panzer 38(t) armored tanks. Large quantities of this model were exported to various nations and were also issued to German SS forces while Czechoslovakia was under occupation. This specimen has been professionally receiver cut, as without close inspection, the welds are near invisible. Receiver cover is welded shut. Receiver markings have been scrubbed off aside from some small proof marks. Metal components have been wonderfully refinished in black aside from the muzzle booster, which retains its original bluing. Tripod retains its tan paint. CONDITION: Metal components on gun retain most of applied black finish with areas of loss and wear. Tripod retains a fair amount of its tan paint, with areas of loss to paint all around. Wood grips are good, showing indentations and areas of loss. MW
