You are bidding on a WW1 German battlefield recovered Maxim with everything you see as one lot. T are many pits, some pin holes, and evidence of heavy rust, but many of the original marks show clearly. All these parts were glass bead cleaned so what you see is solid metal without the damge of most rust removeal methods. Most of the hard work is done! Very hard to find cut "Side plate" included. Buyers in the continential USA pay $35.00 shipping, others, please ask if concerned. A challenge yes, but definitely doable! If you use a machineable plastic steel putty such as Devcon #10110 (a modern space age composite based epoxy) and paint. You will have a solid example that is stronger than the original metal and if done right will be hard to tell it was ever in such condition. I have seen many fine restorations done with this brand of epoxy putty. Please ask questions before you bid. Overseas shipments are possible to some countries. See my other Maxim parts listed on this site. NOT USEABLE TO BUILD AN ACTUAL FIREARM. See item to see the companion Maxim: 320099443834 from ebay. Overseas bidders, please write for approval.
