Designed to be carried on the back of an assistant gunner, the field mount for the MG-42 machine gun could be rapidly unfolded to serve as an adjustable tripod or as the base for an anti-aircraft pintle mount (not included). 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. The side of the traverse and elevation mechanism is stamped "bga/42/334".

Good. 75% original green paint finish remains with areas of chipping and wear revealing the red painted undercoating and rough handling marks. The leather components are good with tight stitching, scuffs, some age cracking on the straps, and some moisture damage.
