PAIR OF GERMAN MG 34/42 BELT LOADERS.
1) STEEL CONSTRUCTION GURTFULLER 41 BELT LOADER. Utilized to load the non-disintegrating belt for the MG34 & MG42. It utilizes a simple lever & handle that loads 2 rds. at a time. Marked w/ waffenamt, eagle over WaA20 & factory code “CNX ZR”. CONDITION: while lots of factory black finish remains, several areas of scattered patina which have been brought under control are present. The mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. 2) ALUMINUM/CRANK STYLE BELT LOADER. Lightweight aluminum belt loader marked w/ several waffenamts, “WaA519” & the number “667”, all of which are clear. While these are more common to find as a post war product, this one is of significant interest due to the extremely legible markings. CONDITION: normal rough casting marks indicative of early aluminum forging. The mechanism cycles extremely smooth & appears to function correctly when operated by hand. (02-14184-1/JZ). $600-900.
