This is an excellent example of a very rare late production. Danish Model 1950 light machine gun chambered in 7.92 (8mm Mauser). This was the final version of the original Madsen Model 1907 light machine gun that remained in service with the Danish Army until the mid/late 1950's when the new Madsen/Saetter LMG was introduced. This scarce example is an export model that is chambered in the 7.92 Mauser cartridge. This version was used in several European countries as well as China and Africa. This example is a fully functional, fully automatic light machine gun that is registered with the BATF. It is has the same "long barreled recoil system" as the original Model 1907 version only modified for use with the 7.92 Mauser cartridge. Since it's the export model, it is stamped on the left side of the receiver with the large markings of: "MADSEN/Danish Crest" flanked by "R and P/EM 1443". It uses the side mounted large box magazine like the original. It is fitted with a quick change barrel that has a large carrying handle mounted on top of the barrel jacket. It is fitted with a standard blade front sight and a military style tangent rear sight graduated 200-1,900 meters. The underside of the receiver is lightly stamped with an importer marking of: "BELLO WPB. FLA.". It has the original heavy walnut buttstock with a perforated barrel jacket and a folding bipod mount on the underside of the barrel jacket. The metal parts are finished in a British type black suncoat type finish. It is complete with five magazines one on the gun and four spares housed in a large leather clip pouch. It also includes one spare original Madsen barrel.

Excellent with 95% of the original black suncoat type finish and some minor flaking/clipping of the paint on the edge and high spots such as the barrel jacket and edges of the receiver. The buttstock is also in very fine plus condition with a nice dark oil finish showing minor handling marks.
