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 "43/eat 2487/h" on top, with a green paint finish overall, a pair of brown leather shoulder straps and a pair of leather pads on the front leg, as well as a small metal tool compartment on the left side.

Fine overall. 70% of the paint finish is present, some worn off to expose brown steel or an undercoat of red paint. The elevation mechanism is a 1942 dated replacement, though all mechanical parts appear to be in good order. The spine pads are a bit crushed, otherwise the leather components are good.
