Designed to be carried on the back of an assistant gunner, the field mount for the MG42 machine gun could be rapidly unfolded to serve as an adjustable tripod or as the base for an anti-aircraft pintle mount (not included). Marked "1942/fsu 568" on top with a green paint finish, full elevation and traverse adjustment, integral recoil buffer and optical sight base. Range chart mounted on the rear and 2 leather pads on the front leg.

Very good, showing light handling marks overall. Shoulder straps absent.
