Knorr-Bremse LH35?

[Inf Div 121]

As I think, the gun is Knorr-Bremse LH35, prototype of Knorr-Bremse MG35/36. Found in Latvia in place where SS-Tottenkopf was in 1941.

Any suggestions on value? And does any of them survived the war?

SS-T guys with prototype, may be the same one.

Very interesting, a few similarities to the MG13 - not many though.

Thank you for posting and the B&W wartime pic, great stuff.

It was a very poor design-bought on a commercial basis by the SS at a time when they were not able to get standard Heer weapons-had the bad feature of the butt stock often falling off during firing amongst other problems--a modified version was made in Sweden as a war emergency weapon but was equally unpopular with users there and retired immediately after the war.
