he MG34 was the main German light machine gun in use by the German army at the start of WW2 and was in service throughout WW2. The gun was designed by Mauser and was a high precision piece of equipment with close manufacturing tolerances which proved expensive to manufacture in terms of cost and hours. Th MG34 was supplemented by the MG42 which was easier to manufacture and had a substantially increased rate of fire. This is an excellent MG34 which retains most of its original blued finish and has matching numbers except for the wooden butt. The gun was made by (Otto Goessel u.
