The MG 13 was the first post-WW1 light machine gun adopted by the German Army. It was introduced in 1930. The MG 13 was the mainstay of the Wehrmacht from 1931 to 1934, and it continued in use throughout WW2. A significant number of features of the famous MG 34 were derived directly from the MG 13, making it a very important piece in the history of German machine gun development. Daniel D. Musgrave, in German Machineguns, says the MG 13 is a relatively rare gun today, and it is usually seen only in museum collections! (Revised Edition, 1992) IMA is pleased to offer not only a nonfiring MG 13, but also an extensive selection of original accessories. This large number of accessories is rarely available with older machine guns. NOTE: THIS WILL PROBABLY BE YOUR ONLY OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN THIS HISTORICAL GUN AND ITS ACCESSORIES.
