Cincylance Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 The top cover Trommelhalter was $1750 about 1 year ago. I bought the Patronentrommel 34 for ~ $5200 in Jan 2020. Regardless of the money and time involved, it's definitely an addiction! I've heard that Ryan is a very big collector of this stuff as well. And a very big thanks to JohnsonLMG41 for getting me the lead on the winding/adjustment key for the double drum which I was able to purchase from AAS in France! Wow, sounds like you got some good deals. Have you got a spare recoil spring tube? Pretty sure I still have one, maybe even has a spring in it. Let me know if you have interest.

Ryo Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 That's a crazy great deal. I think just the drum alone typically cost the full amount you paid. On a auction today I just saw a auction selling the top cover with hole bunch of other mixed machine gun parts sell for $1200. I was hoping due to the mislabeling no one would bid on it. They had the expected price to be $300-$400 LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 The cover in the auction is/was a repro. If you are looking for one, I may have one available. It looks much different, but is functional (possibly better than original?). Or I might part with a standard repro too? If you have any interest PM me.

Cincylance Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 The MGZ optic in that same auction was nice. Did anyone here buy it?https://centurionauctions.hibid.com/lot/90963461/wwii-german-g--heyde-m-g--z-36-scope-with-case?cpage=12 This loader was also a nice find:https://centurionauctions.hibid.com/lot/90963492/wwii-german-saddle-drum-magazine-loader?cpage=13 Yeah, after owning an original doppeltrommel topcover, the repros are easy to spot.

Ryo Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 If I had a MG34 lafette I would have looked at getting it. I'm a sucker at getting a complete set of things.. if it doesn't kill my bank account too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
