Near mint, not often encountered lighter weight pedal type belt loading machine for the German WWII MG-34 or MG-42 machine gun non-disintegrating metallic belts. This model uses a wing shaped hopper that feeds 8x57mm Mauser cartridges from both sides while the pedal on the back of the machine pushes cartridges into the belt as a rotor wheel advances the belt in battery. One can see this loader is better suited to two-person operation. CONDITION: Near mint original black enamel finish with makers mark on the left side. Mechanics are crisp and positive. Metal can has green paint over original tan with hand-applied yellow lettering as stated above. It has been a very, very long time since this cataloger has seen one of these loaders offered for sale.
