Built off of a new manufacture semi-automatic only Hesse Arms sideplate along with commercial and military surplus Browning Model 1919 components. An air-cooled variant of the earlier World War I era Browning Model 1917 water-cooled machine gun, the Browning Model 1919 was developed shortly after the war and became the standard medium caliber machine gun for the U.S. and several other nations throughout and after World War II. Features folding blade front and adjustable peep rear sights, ventilated barrel shroud, cast metal pistol grip, "7.62" marked on a few components, and the manufacturer's address, model, caliber, and serial number on the right side plate. Includes an Israeli MAG 58 tripod with M1919 pintle and adapter block installed. Provenance: The Collection of David L. DeLullo

Excellent overall as built by Hesse Arms, retaining 97% plus parkerized finish with light edge wear and scattered minor scuffs. Some covered pitting is visible on the surplus components, and weld repairs are visible on the rear sight assembly. The tripod is also excellent as repainted. The rear sight adjustment knobs needs adjustment, otherwise mechanically excellent.
