This is a Finnish manufactured tripod for their model of Maxim machine gun. Not only will it mount the Finnish Maxim and the Swiss MG-11 Maxim, it will also mount the German MG-08 with an adapter collar. This mount, as well as the near identical Swiss mount, are preferred recreational mounting platforms for the Maxim machine guns. Much easier to haul these around and set up then an MG-08 sled mount, and these are much more adaptable to other machine guns as well. CONDITION: Very good and better overall with most of the original paint. One leather pad not present, with the other original pad present and serviceable. Leather straps starting to get stiff, yet still serviceable. Elevation mechanism serviceable. Should clean up very well and provide good useful service. JWK 2024-12-08
