Original Item: Only One Available. The MG 13 was the standard light machine gun of the Wehrmacht from 1930 through 1934. The design, which was adapted from the Dreyse machine gun of World War One, is simple and rugged. From the tactical point of view, the Germans considered that the LMG they wanted had to be belt fed with a quick barrel change feature, which led to the MG 34 being adopted. Nevertheless, the MG 13 saw widespread use as a second-line light automatic weapon. Some countries, for example Great Britain, had fine success using a magazine-fed gun as their basic LMG (the BREN gun), and the United States had good success with the BAR in a similar role.
Not Available for Export
This is an excellent lot of accessories that will look excellent displayed with your MG13. They include:
- MG-13 steel Magazine Box in its original factory-applied three color camouflage paint. It is painted with the same color that pre-war German tanks were, called the the Buntfarbenanstrich (colorful paint pattern). The pattern used three colors: RAL Nr. 17 Erdgelb-matt (matte earth yellow), RAL Nr. 18 Braun-matt (matte brown), and RAL Nr. 28 Grün-matt (matte green). The colors were sprayed onto the vehicle in the wavy pattern, with a different pattern for each vehicle. This pattern was later emulated by the famous "normandy pattern" used on Helmets during the war. The can is stamped with logo BSW over 1938, the date of manufacture.
- MG13 Gunner’s kit pouch, marked FL 45966 / fzs next to Waffenamt 2. The code fzs is for the extremely famous Heinrich Krieghoff Waffenfabrik (Weapons Factory) in Suhl, Germany. No contents.
- MG13 Cleaning kit tin, no contents. Marked 1g on one side and 64 on one end piece.
- An outstanding set of eight original MG13 magazines in two original four-magazine canvas carriers. All straps are in good shape minus one which is broken and cracking. Three magazines are dated 1939 and the other five are dated 1938, all marked for manufacture by BSW with accompanying Waffenamt stamps. An excellent set.
