Fabulous condition Browning Model 1918 belt loader manufactured in 1942 by J.W. MFG Co. The top plate is marked "BROWNING / BELT FILLING MACHINE / MODEL OF 1918", with the bottom marked "J.W. MFG CO./ 1942/ U.S.A.". Loader construction is comprised of blued and parkerized steel components. Complete with a blued steel vertical stack feed chute, which can be fed manually by hand or via stripper clips. Wood transit chest painted "CHEST D35395/ (Flaming bomb) / U.S." on either side. CONDITION: Near mint with no discernable evidence of ever being used. Wood transit crate is also extremely fine to near excellent good with some loss of green paint, retaining an exceptional leather carrying handle. About as nice a loading machine for the cloth Browning machine gun belts as one could ever find today. JWK 2024-09-030.
