michaelkih Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 I've managed to collect everything for my C&R transferable MG42 in dunkelgelb. Tripod, sight, and accessories. I'm thinking of doing the same for my pre may sample MG34, but I know dunkelgelb is impossible to find for the 34 tripod, and I have always had zero interest in modern refurbished and repainted parts. I found this one that looks to be a perfect example of an original field repaint in dunkelgelb, however the seller wants $4800 for it. Is that fair? It's twice what I paid for the MG42 dunkelgelb tripod with similar wear, but that one was also a factory paint job and I'm very happy with it. Since this is a 34 unit which is rarer to find in this color even field repainted, do the experts here think this is a fair price? Everything functions perfect I am told. Thanks for your help!

Black River Militaria CII Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 IMO price is a bit high for the condition, but if it gets your juices flowing, go for it. MG34 tripods are bringing more and more money as time goes by, appreciating faster than the 42 tripods since there aren't any "Yugo" 34 tripods for cheap.....

Cincylance Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 I sold my exc condition MG34 tripod in 2012 for $5k. The price for this one does not seem out of line considering it is 100% correct and not jacked with. Does it include the straps? What is the original color under the gelb? Interesting fact: the Lafette tripod cost more for the Wehrmacht back in the day than the MG34 itself! Cincylance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
