At Military Odyssey last week we bought this 1944 MAXIM gun. ALL in crate with amo container.
The bought a couple of deact slugs for it!!

Forgot to say that the cap on the barrel is a special item and is known as the snow cap. They used to shove snow in it to keep it cool. Unique to the Eastern Front

That kept the buggers from taking your caravan this year!

Very nice, do you want a GPMG and 50cal Browning?

Wicked cool! Gives a nice idea as to the colors, too (as a starting point, of course, it would have weathered heavily in the field, obviously).

thanks for sharing the pics!

Prosit!

Very cool! Nice pick up. I am guessing that will soon be incorporated into your show room. Thanks for the photos.

Great piece, but it looks more like a 1914 early WWI MG more than a 1944 late WWII model.

Tony,

You seem to be taking your showroom security pretty seriously, which I commend you for. Have you had fresh intelligence to suggest another Robommando Raid is being planned?

I love my job, soooo much!
My official stance has to be that, no, K&C UK raids are wrong, on a number of different levels, and if you do go for it, then I'll have to tell you off severely whilst sharing up the proceeds.

Hi Louis

All the national Armouries paper work and deact certificate confirm it is a 1944 Maxim, however they did not change much from WWI through to the end of WWII. i had the choice of a 1917 WWI or the one i got WWI was more expensive and look identicle. The guy we got it from had 4 in stock all crated and the found them all in a farmhouse in russia!! Apparently there were loads of other things hanging around in the farmhouse!!!

The Maxim M1910 heavy machine gun was originally introduced in 1910. It was a belt fed, water cooled weapon and due to its excessive weight was mounted on a wheeled carriage to improve mobility. It was also fitted with a small shield to provide limited protection for the firers. During its lifetime, improvements were made to simplify its ease of manufacture. The gun was rugged and reliable and would operate well in most conditions. Despite an initial halt to production in 1941, it was resumed in 1942 and continued until the end of the war. Although large numbers of this gun were captured by the Germans, they considered it too cumbersome for front line use.

With Tony employing machine guns now,we may not make it back to blighty from this show Simon.So tally ho and over the top we go.Look out for Bosche and make for the stock room.Try and speak northern and if you get stopped say something about whippets and black puddings.

Dude that thing is tight. Can you use it to fend off a pack of pikeys? Since it was never used, was the crate packed in grease?

Chris

There was grease on top of the grease unbelievable but all moved nicely!

All the mechanics are tight and firm just amazing

 

[Alexdakar]

How many toy soldiers would we have to buy to be able to shoot a few rounds.

 

[Tony Neville]

Sorry Alex its deactivated!!!! its against the law for us to carry live guns!!

 

[Capitolron]

Very Cool

T - How much did that bad boy set you back ??

 

[damian]

Sorry Alex its deactivated!!!! its against the law for us to carry live guns!!

I was going to ask that. I know that they are clamping down on knives in the UK and it has been very difficult to legally own a handgun for some time now, let alone a machine gun

Check this price out!!! the WHOLE kit for £400!!! yep i was amazed!

The guy has a warehouse full of them as he picks them up in Russia LIVE!! and then deactivates them in the UK.

All the action mechanics work just wont fire ammo!!

This one is nearly mint just climate storage damage.

The bullets you can see are also deactivated! but looks good! We have a couple fo LIVE muskets in the show room but it is not against the law to hold gunpowder actiavetd guns!!! daft i know as some still will do a lot of damage
