Very seldom encountered with or without a gun, this is the tripod for the FN-D machine gun. Marked “FABIQUE NATIONALE D’ARMES DE GUERRE / HERSTAL – BELGIQUE” on the rectangular metal box affixed to the left side. This is a very well-made tripod in the general style of the Bren tripod but with articulating legs and a pedestal shaft at the rear to emplace the socket on the butt of the FN-D into. CONDITION: Extremely fine to near excellent original drab olive paint coverage with numerous handling marks. Mechanics are smooth and positive. For those who have, or hope to have an example of the FN-D machine gun, don’t let this tripod get away. One never sees these. JWK 2024-09-099.
