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). Stamped "OL btm 6468/873058" on top and painted "2/711" on the back, with a green paint finish overall, assorted Waffenamt stamps, 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.

Good as possibly arsenal repainted with some roughness visible beneath the finish, and the leather shows some mild rubbing and cracking while remaining supple overall. The oiler cap is absent, and the elevation mechanism needs adjustment; otherwise mechanically good.
