Manufactured using a combination of original Hotchkiss Gun components and an inert aluminum alloy receiver. A licensed copy of the French 1909 Benet-Mercie machine gun, the Mark I was issued both to cavalry units and also the tank crews during World War I. Included with the unit is a quick-detach front tripod with British "broad arrow" proofs and a steel and wood bolt-on buttstock. Note: does not constitute a complete parts kit.

Good, with scattered mild dings and light pitting on the vintage components, minor bending of the tripod legs and some scuffs on the grips and stock.
