Original Item: Only One Available. This is an very good condition genuine U.S. World War Two military issue M2 tripod with original U.S. military issue T&E and original U.S. military issue pintle.
The tripod has its original steel data plate that reads:
NO. 268607 H.M.R.
MOUNT, TRIPOD,
CAL .30, M2
APPLIANCE MFG. CO. 1944
The top head of the tripod is stamped C59336 / AMC and is marked in multiple other locations. Features brass socket for the pintle and fully functional legs, cross bar and welded feet. It is complete, functional and in excellent condition. All paint was removed by previous collector years ago, so the exterior has a nice worn blued patina. The pintle is ordnance bomb marked, and comes complete with the cross pin and castle nut, with cotter pin still installed.
The T&E is functional and marked in numerous locations. It still retains its cross pin for securing to the rear trunion of the Browning MG.
This is perfect for registered full auto Browning M1919 machine guns or semi-auto conversions. These rarely come to market anymore and almost never in this great condition.
