CONDITION: Excellent retaining 95% plus original parkerized finish overall. Mechanically fine. The
mount retains 90% plus of the dark green exterior paint, and the rare Navy MK9 Mod 1 sight is
also in excellent condition with clear optics, no visible cracks or damage, with 35% of the black
painted finish on the top of the sight cover. This is probably one of the rarest World War II machine
gun mounts sets that is still extant, as probably 99% of these were scrapped after WWII since they
had no further application for them, with very few know examples found in an aircraft or naval
museums. This is probably a once-in-a-lifetime chance to acquire one of the most complete and
extremely high condition WWII aircraft fixed-dual mounted AN-M2 aircraft machine gun set in their
original aircraft fixed-mount that includes the complete sight! NOTE: This weapon is a National
