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 "1943/fsu 3504/a" 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. A section of the forward mount assembly has been polished clean and stamped with an "eagle/BH12", suggesting acquisition by the post-WWII Austrian Bundesheer for use with the MG3/MG74 machine gun.

Very good, with mild wear on the metal and leather. Appears to be in good order mechanically.
