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 "NC/fsu 5127" 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. The elevation mechanism is finished black and marked "bkh/1943/4864/a".

Very good overall, with areas of mild wear and scattered spotting. The left shoulder strap is torn, and the pads show staining and areas of white residue. The traverse and elevation hardware appears to be in good order.
