BELT LOADER. An early, brass variation of the MG51 Swiss belt filling machine for the MG11 machine gun. It appears to be an updated version, used for the later metal, articulated, non-disintegrating belts that replaced the earlier cloth belts between 1934-1935. Parts constructed of brass painted OD Green, while steel parts are painted matte black. Loader is designed to mount on desk or bench, or even the included transit crate if more desirable. Housed in an original wood transit chest measuring 12.25" x 14.25" x 9", stenciled on top; "MG51 / GURTENFÜLLAPPARAT". CONDITION: Painted finish retains full coverage. Brass surfaces retain stampings and are easy to read. All aspects indicate little or no prior use. All moving parts are smooth and fluid. PROVENANCE: From the Lifelong Collection of Brian Linde. (02-23926-5/JZ). $200-400.
