Deactivated WWII German MG42

This is a superb Second World War, German MG42 machine gun, with all visible numbers matching. The initials "NC" were used by Maget in 1944. Maget was assigned secret code "cra" and Nazi acceptance Waffen stamp Eagle over WaA11. The serial number (6344k)  is also correct and falls within the known serial number range used that year. Maget only produced an estimated 60,000 MG42's in 1944. It had a fantastic rate of fire at 1200 rounds a minute. Nick named by US troops as Hitler's buzz saw, they are still in use in a modified form today.

A real German WWII classic and a museum worthy example.
