Only One Available. This is an incredible small model of the legendary German Maxim Maschinengewehr (Machine Gun) 08\/15, known as the MG 08\/15. This gun became, by far, the most common German machine gun deployed in World War I (Dolf Goldsmith, 1989) since it reached a full allocation of six guns per company or 72 guns per regiment in 1918. By that time, there were four times as many MG 08\/15 light machine guns than heavy MG 08 machine guns in each infantry regiment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a great small metal model of the machine gun which sits on a marble base at three points of connection, two on the bipod and one on the buttstock. The marble base measures 2⅝ x 6¾ x ¾”. With the MG, the entire piece is roughly 2½” tall. The MG comes off of the base and only sits on the base, it is not stuck to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a really gorgeous display piece which will look great on your desk. Comes ready for further research and display.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42090163208261,"sku":"ONSV24SLN098","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONSV24SLN098__06.jpg?v=1734386465","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-imperial-german-wwi-mg-08-15-model-desk-paperweight-on-marble-base","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
