both World Wars, Korea and Vietnam. Folding blade

nomenclature on the right sideplate, ventilated barrel heat shield and
a checkered pistol grip. The weapon is mounted in a 1942 dated 1917A1 tripod with integral traverse and elevation hardware. Included with the lot is a pair of loading tools with cases, an extra barrel with cover, a number of loose links and cloth belts, and a pair of hardwood belt carriers. CONDITION: Very fine, with 95% of the parkerized
finish, showing mild handling marks and wear
overall. Some of the components are refurbished
military surplus, with the cover latch, pistol grip
assembly and bottom plate showing cleaned-up pitting.
The tripod is in good order, with mild wear and flaking of the paint. The cases for the loading tools are damaged; otherwise, the accessories are in good order. Mechanically excellent. NOTE: This weapon is a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE)
under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 478.
