Unknown MG

[stegger]

Hi to all
I'm new here, and immediately with the question
Could someone identify which machine guns were dug by the Poles here? To me, they look like aviation MGs...

These in the second pic seen in the foreground are the Austro-Hungarian Schwarzlose M. 07/12 machine guns with remnants of their bases.
Those in the first image and in the background of the second shot are the Danish Madsen M1903 machine guns used by Norwegians as the anti aircraft ones fitted to the German bi-pod used for the MG34. The "armoury" was found not by Poles but by Germans with Polish help, near Polish-German border at the Seelow hills

Thanks, Wurger, I know about Schwarzloze. I wonder what those other two are ...
Sorry I post in the wrong place.

Thanks Wurger

My pleasure.

One more thanks, Wurger.
I would never suspect it was Madsen. The excavated ones look much bigger

Wow! I was like, rusted pipe. Larger rusted pipe. Medium rusted pipe.

Maybe Gun Jesus can do a "mud test" to see if they still fire.
