Spandau at IMA 1918
International Military Antiques IMA is showcasing a 1918 Spandau with what appears to be the pull type mechanism. Just saw the pics but I have not studied the pictures thoroughly assumed that my betters might be "better" at it.
Right sideplate is gone of course but the markings are displayed. Actually appears to be in very nice condition sans the front sight and booster. The link is a bit weird but IMA is easy to find on the net. |

Posted under Memorabilia by Aerobuff a few days ago. Aerobuff, it's a 'b' suffix.
Looks like most numbers match including the firing block. Odd booster, looking more like a blank firing 'shredder' but includes the brass drive mechanism. Looks very nice and a good price if you want a de-ac. Now all you need to do is find the other one.... Regards JW |

A side plate shouldn't be that hard to get it just if you can get it by it's self without have it buy the rest of the other gun.
John the end of the berral looks ok to me, it just missing the booster. Dave had talked about the two styles of berrals in his other thread about the booster styles. The nut of the end of the booster is installed. Here is some photos that Dave took. This is from a ground gun. The nut is on the booster.  Same berral on a aircraft gun.  Here is the end of the other style of berral. I have to go back and re-read the thread but I think one is a MG15 style and the other is a MG08/15 berral. I stand corrected if this is incorrect I refer to Dave thread for the correction.  Lloyd...
